About Me

Applying to Art School or building a portfolio can be daunting. What to include, what to improve on or add? I have applied to and been accepted into multiple Art Schools across the UK and internationally. I know what is required to be successful in applying for Art School and being accepted. I also know how to help you with the direction your practice needs to take. How to research an idea, what mediums to explore and utilize. Maybe you are feeling stuck with a project. Or maybe you feel you need to add more work to your portfolio. I am here for all types of advice. I know what it takes to complete an art project, from the research stages, to finishing the work and exhibiting it. I can also help with funding applications and writing.
I am also happy to help with projects where you are feeling stuck or want a fresh pair of eyes on your work.

You will need to develop a system thinking and being able to see the bigger picture.

You will need ro know how to face stress, deal with last minute changes, deal with complaints, deal with issues,deal emergencies, organize a whole team, support your team, coordinate artists or any other stakeholders.

You will have to develop a creative problem solving skill and maintain calm at all times.

I have a great passion for Events Management and the number one requirement you need is going to be being able to read people and read the situation.

They will learn how to create interest in the painting fitting up sketches, photographs and still life. learning how to improvise using additional materials as masking fluid, salt, sponge and other is part of the course.

This class supports students who wish to enter the world of drawing or improve their drawing practice in the classical tradition.

Students will learn to take a slow, thoughtful, methodical approach to observing light and form and depicting it on a surface using principles of shape, proportion and tone, and a balance of optical and conceptual knowledge.

This class is suitable for beginner students who want to explore a new method of drawing, and also for those who are already familiar with drawing and wish to refine their skills.
