About Me

I am a creative educator and artist working in museums and charities, as well as a performer and actress teaching and working in Cambridge and London, UK.

My work in museums has been varied, and it ranges from exhibition producer and co-curator, tour guide, facilitator, to project manager and programmer. If you don’t find me doing at least one of those things, you’ll for sure find me facilitating a workshop or performing in a show.

I enjoy designing and delivering enthralling and original learning experiences in various formats and suited to different learning styles. I also take pleasure in leading cultural projects to success and devising unique engagement programmes.
I also teach and perform aerial circus as well as physical theatre. I particularly like taking part in and developing ground-breaking performances on topics as diverse and relevant as climate change and gender identity. Finally, I also do photography and digital editing.

As you can see, I am as eager about managing and producing behind the scenes, as I am about being centre stage. I am incredibly passionate about the arts, and I love sharing my enthusiasm, knowledge and creativity with everyone. I cannot wait to share this with you!

Art Lessons and History of Art for Children and Young people

68 C$ /h

Art classes

These classes focus on developing the skills to produce artworks utilising diverse media. The techniques I teach are drawing, painting, sculpture, and engraving, as well as mixed media, where students experiment a combination of techniques and materials, such as photomontage, xilocollage, building of sculptures with non-conventional objects, etc.

Art appreciation & Art History

I use a combination of techniques for Art Appreciation and Art History classes. Some are based on the Visual Thinking Strategies method and guided enquiry, as well as on my background in drama to relate to artworks with all the senses and the emotions. Similarly, my guided observation works on helping students identify and understand compositional principles.
The aim of these classes is to get learners thinking about what they see and what it could mean. This can be done with any sort of image.
This type of approach is particularly important nowadays that human culture has become eminently visual. And students extract enormous joy by sharing and discussing their ideas.

Aerial Silks, Hoop, and Rope Classes to Develop Coordiantion, Strength, and Mobility

89 C$ /h

In this class we will work on developing your skills on either the aerial silks, rope, or hoop, by working on strength, mobility, and learning tricks in a progressive and safe way.

I am a professional performer and teacher who did her Teacher Training at the National Centre for Circus Arts in London, and has travelled around the world to perform and learn from different coaches.

My courses are designed for adults, students, and young people alike who wish to develop their artistic practice and explore their ideas further. I would like to guide you in building your own artistic world by combining various techniques and knowledge, according to your needs. In my courses, I also offer instruction on how to talk about your own work and find the right words. My teaching approach is tailored to each student, whether they are in preparatory classes for art schools, studying art, are self-taught, or are a professional artist.
- Drawing
- Composition
- Photography
- Image processing (Photoshop)
- The history of art
- Conceptualization

I taught drawing and composition for several years at Gobelins, the School of Image (2020-2024), and was a mentor twice as part of the VU' Agency Mentorship Program (supporting a young photographer for a year - 2023 and 2025). I have also worked extensively with diverse audiences, from children to the elderly, notably in workshops conducted at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP).

I enjoyed my years teaching at the university level and working with groups, but today I prefer a more personal, targeted approach to my students through private lessons. I am caring, patient, demanding, and a great listener to the people I work with, regardless of their level or age.

In this course, you will learn how to scan any object using Reality Capture software. This efficient and powerful software was first used for the preservation of archaeological objects and historical monuments, but is now used for video games, VFX and virtual reality, as it offers tools and results of a impressive quality, all in an easy-to-use interface.

In this course, you will be able to learn:
-How does photogrammetry work?
-How to take suitable photos
-How to prepare these photos for their use in the software
-How to use these photos to reconstruct an object in 3D and apply a realistic texture to it
-How to optimize scans for custom use (games, movies, etc.)

Gradually, we will solidify these skills to learn how to build a library of highly realistic objects based on high resolution scans.

It is also possible to present your projects to me and to obtain personalized help on them.

In today's profound world of photography and audiovisual content (where everyone with a phone can be an artist), I will help you develop as a REAL artist through methods and years of expertise and self-study, which worked for me and other professionals

Whether you just want to practice or let me be your guide, as a recognized filmmaker I have worked with nominated film directors, been selected by film festivals, and have received the endorsement of many incredible artists and collectives all over the world with my photography.

I am a social media content creator.

I edit my photos myself, and I also create my videos from A to Z.

Here is what I can bring you:
- Learn how to frame your photos and modify them, for example with Lightroom.
- I work with an iPhone, but if you have an Android, I will see with you how to use it best.
- Teach video creation and editing with CapCut:
- Advice on equipment, even on a limited budget.
- Tips for getting started on social networks (I'm more specialized on Instagram).

Short story :
I have been present on Instagram as a content creator since 2021. However, I took it more seriously from June 2023. At that point, I started posting five times a week (instead of four to five times a month) and making videos (previously, I was more focused on photos). By June, my videos reached 2,000 views, and around 300 people viewed my stories. Today, some of my videos exceed 10,000 views, and some have even exceeded 100,000 views, not to mention the more than 1,000 people who view my stories.

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

Hi !
it's a long time since I am working as a photographer, a bit more than 20 years and I really love my profession.
Photography is both a work and a passion.
I am doing fashion photography, portraits and still lifes. I enjoy the studio work.
I am also passionate about exterior photography, travel images, pictures done in nature.
I can teach you on an online class different photography subjects depending on your needs.
We could go through the very basics of photography, see how a digital or film camera works, the aperture, time, ISO speed subjects.
On an online class we could also do some more creative things like PORTRAIT techniques, or if you have FLASH lights and want to learn more we could go through it. We could also try Light Painting, with a long exposure using a torch light held by hands .

If you're already taking pictures, I'd be happy to see your work. In the last times I am personally trying to make my portfolios a bit different than my habits. I'd be happy to share ideas and see what you are doing.

Whether online or in person, the training will begin with an overview of the history of photography, followed by theoretical lessons on composition. To understand how a camera works and the depth of an image, you must observe and practice again and again. As a photographer, your aesthetic sense will develop through both practical and theoretical exercises.

I have all the necessary equipment, in case you don't have your own camera.

As an artist promoted by institutions such as Paris Photo and Alfred la Tour, I will accompany you throughout your creative process to help you refine your aesthetic sensibility and best meet your expectations as well as those of your future clients.

I also offer training on all of the following software:
• Photoshop: image correction, retouching, editing and processing
• Illustrator: proficiency in the software and typography
• InDesign: layout design, microtypography, graphic coordination and integration between different software programs; history of the publishing and printing industry
• Premiere Pro: video editing, tips and pitfalls to avoid, how to create a harmonious and effective edit, and mastering the software.

I adapt easily to schedules and needs. Naturally organized and independent, I am proficient in the digital tools used in education and I create my own teaching materials while guaranteeing high-quality work.

I advocate a creative and relaxed approach. No silly questions: mistakes are the foundation of your learning. Without them, you won't be able to progress.
