About Me

I am a dynamic art teacher, having specialised in SEN, primary, Forest School and Coastal education previously. I can teach a broad range of art and craft classes to suit a theme and fit into any subject within the National Curriculum. I am passionate about the environment and encourage use of found and upcycled objects in making art. I am always keen to put on a pair of wellies and either forest forage or beach comb and create from what I find. If I can collect waste plastics at the same time then this really adds purpose to time spent in nature. I am involved with a number of environmental organisations whose work supports nature conservation, especially that of our coasts and oceans. I am an ambassador for the Outer Hebrides for the charity Engage Arts and a member of Curator Space.

Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer or build a successful portfolio? It’s easier than you think!
My teaching philosophy centres around helping students discover their instinctive creative voices through experimental drawing techniques. I believe in the power of intuitive creation, where students are encouraged to move beyond traditional methods, tap into their creativity, and embrace innovative approaches to drawing. This process empowers them to build a strong personal style while gaining the technical skills necessary to express their ideas confidently. As a lecturer at Central Saint Martin's i use my years of teaching experience to help every student unlock their potential, guiding them in finding their unique artistic identity and confidently navigating their creative journeys. Whether you're looking to build a portfolio, develop new drawing skills, or simply explore new creative approaches, I offer a personalised, hands-on approach that meets each student where they are, helping them grow and evolve as an artist. Fashion design isn't just about learning techniques; it's about discovering and expressing your instinctive creative voice. In my lessons, we’ll focus on intuition-driven design—moving beyond traditional, formulaic methods and embracing a more personal, organic approach to creating fashion. Designing with intuition: You’ll learn how to trust your instincts in the design process, whether you’re sketching new ideas or creating full garments. Exploring fabric and silhouette: Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to experiment with different materials, shapes, and textures to create unique and bold designs. Breaking traditional boundaries: My approach challenges you to explore unconventional forms, colours, and patterns, encouraging designs that reflect your own artistic vision.
