About Me

Nature and art have been my two greatest loves for my whole life, and I enjoy opening others' eyes to the wonder and beauty of nature through art. Each of us has a unique perspective and artistic language, and it's very rewarding to create one's personal nature journal.

Education

I have a university degree in art history from my studies in the United States and have studied drawing at the Royal Fine Arts Academy in Brussels (Académie Royale des Beaux Arts de Bruxelles), as well as courses in printmaking and illustration.

Experience / Qualifications

Since 2004 I have pursued art full-time, and have had many solo and shared exhibitions in Belgium and beyond. I spend a lot of time sketching outdoors and observing wildlife in all its variety, both great and small.

Hello! I propose you drawing lessons or painting fun, because I am convinced that one learns better while having fun. I design courses upstream, depending on the personality and level of each. The two main axes are the technique and the development of the imaginary, the putting into practice of an idea. I can move if you have space for creativity and concentration.
Holder of a degree in Fine Arts, but also an animator, I like to share my passion, and has for it a pedagogical know-how. See you soon!

Private Painting and Drawing lessons, any level! I am a classically trained painter, I have been painting seriously for 20 years and studied intensively in Florence, Italy. I will teach you the basics about light, form, line, colour and space, and how to constantly grow and improve. We start with drawing from observation and continue to other mediums, including oil paint, once the student is ready.

Landscape, still life, portrait, expressive. My goal is to help my students improve every time and reach a new level. I provide many examples from art history as well as my own work, and give lots of demonstrations. I offer a personalized approach fitted to each student.

The classes are in a small group format, no more than 4 at a time and each student works at their own pace, it is private classes with other students present, offering a supportive environment in which to learn and grow. Each student receives personalized instruction at their own level. Each student is guaranteed to improve.

I ask for a commitment of 5 lessons at a time to see some improvement, and I accept students who are looking for longer term learning. Commitment is a must to grow! Try out one lesson to see if the class is a good for for you. My students tend to stay with me for the long term, if it is the right fit.

The classes take place in my studio in the charming location of Grand Hospice, a converted hospice in the city center of Brussels.

I have up to 3 years experience as a graphic designer and illustrator within a Book Publishing House. By being part of the bookmaking process from the very beginning, I shared my ideas in brainstorming meetings along with the account managers, the editorial team and the art director on the projects. I was able to grow my organizational and planning skills by creating designs for covers and interior layouts, by illustrating book covers and short stories, and by delivering print ready files for many projects at the same time. Besides licensed publishing and in-house projects, I am also involved in producing advertising materials for our projects, such as flyers, posters and banners for online and offline marketing and attention to details is my little name.
In my class you will learn to be creative and the means to express your creativity.

I teach in such a way as to fully respect everyone's desires and inspirations: art must remain personal and exciting. Each lesson is adapted to the student(s). It can be both academic courses (technique and mastery of different materials), as well as reflection on the challenges of art, or even the development of a personal project...

I am a very passionate person when it comes to making fun with colors, drawing, crafts, and calligraphy.
Teaching these subjects brings me immense delight and satisfaction. Moreover, I hold a strong belief in the beauty of elegant handwriting. My instructional approach is centered on guiding learners from basics and foundational concepts to an advanced level of mastery.

The level and type of the course may vary depending on the level of the student and what he wants to develop.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

The course will adapt to what the student would like to achieve as well as to his level.

I will teach online drawing courses for begginers. Also I will teach art history and introduction for artists alongside. It is about how to draw properly and having an individual and personal vision through artistic way. I will teach everything about colors, compositions and still life as well :)

As an experienced artist and certified teacher, I have been sharing my passion for art for almost a decade. My diverse experience has enabled me to develop effective teaching strategies and engaging learning methods suitable for all levels.

Whether you aim to refine your skills, prepare for competitions, or simply express yourself through art, I am here to guide you.

With a compassionate and rigorous approach, I will help you explore your creativity and cultivate your artistic style. Regardless of your level or learning challenges, I am committed to supporting you on your artistic journey with enthusiasm and dedication.

Have you ever wanted to get better photos of your dog (or cat), this class will provide some tips and ideas for better pet photography.

Specializing in colored pencil, pastel, graphite pencil and watercolor techniques, I have been teaching drawing for several years to a varied audience, from beginners to advanced artists.

I work on a variety of themes: portrait, realism, illustration, animal, plant, and more depending on your desires.
I adapt to all levels in a caring and secure environment, conducive to exploration and progression.

Want to learn how to draw portraits that look almost like a photograph? I can help you start with the base, the sketching, and how to blend using both colored pencils and graphite pencils. Also using pens, both ink and Bic.

If you need help for your GCSE or A-level portfolio, I will be able to assist you and guide you on getting a high grade. (Coming from someone who got an A*). I will make sure you pass your exam and get a high grade.

For kids, they will create different crafts that they could bring home and hang up on their wall. I will teach them fun ways to be creative, and every time they come in for a class, they will leave with something new.
