Description
I am a professional multidisciplinary artist and creative mentor with a Master’s Degree (Distinction) in Creative Practice and over ten years of experience in visual project delivery. My practice bridges traditional fine art techniques with modern digital production, ranging from observational drawing and physical painting to digital illustration and real-time 3D pipelines.
--How I Teach--
I offer a collaborative, problem-solving approach to tuition, working with you to define your goals and break them down into clear, step-by-step strategies. I prioritise experimentation and process, helping you build skills and creative confidence through non-judgemental feedback and clear progress tracking.
--Who I Teach--
Creators of all skill levels - from complete beginners learning fundamental drawing techniques to experienced artists building university portfolios or planning complex personal projects.
I specialise in working with neurodivergent artists looking for a calm, structured and supportive learning environment.
Learners aged 16+.
