About Me! 

​

I am a qualified tutor having taught groups that include beginners through to the more advanced & experienced. 

I like to facilitate the students personal journey of discovery and promote the art of drawing with the ability to re-create your subject matter.

I believe we never stop learning and find my classes extremely rewarding.

​

TOP TIP

When studying a particular subject choose something you particularly love as you will feel a real excitement at the thought of drawing it. Worksheets are your tool with no pressure!

They are a great reference and you will feel a real infinity with your subject and be more confident when you tackle the overall composition.
