Hi, I am a seasoned art educator with over two decades of experience dedicated to shaping the next generation of creative minds. With a background in graphics and illustration, my journey as a specialist art teacher has been marked by a commitment to innovation and experimentation. Beyond the traditional realms of painting and drawing, I advocate for a hands-on approach to art education that encompasses the act of making and creating. My passion extends beyond the confines of the classroom, as I enthusiastically share my wealth of knowledge by conducting workshops and professional development sessions for art teachers globally.
In these sessions, I will share with you a wealth of experience and techniques that I have discovered over the years, which have not only kept me passionately engaged as an art educator but my students have really enjoyed too. This hands-on approach, blending traditional and experimental methods, has been instrumental in creating an inspiring and dynamic learning environment. With extensive experience teaching mainly 11+ students and adults, I bring a unique perspective to the world of art education, fostering a community of educators dedicated to constant upskilling and learning.
