My lessons are a creative space where you can explore, experiment and grow as an artist at your own pace. I believe drawing and contemporary art should feel expressive and enjoyable, not intimidating, so each session is designed to help you relax into the process while still building strong foundational skills. We begin with simple exercises—shape, tone, proportion, line quality—and gradually move into composition, colour, texture and contemporary approaches to image-making.

I teach through gentle guidance, clear demonstrations and supportive conversation. You’ll spend time observing, sketching, trying techniques, and discovering what feels natural to you. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, whether you want to learn realism, stylised drawing, abstract expression, character-based work or simply reconnect with your creativity.

Although I’m new to formal teaching, my experience as a manager has shaped how I work with people: I know how to explain things clearly, create a calm and encouraging environment, and help individuals grow step by step. I’m patient, attentive and genuinely invested in seeing students gain confidence in their abilities. You’ll never be rushed—your progress and comfort matter.

Lessons can be online or in person, and I aim to make each one feel like a collaborative creative session rather than a strict classroom. You’ll receive personalised feedback, practical tips, and space to experiment. My goal is to help you understand not only how to draw, but how to express your ideas visually and enjoy the journey of discovering your own artistic voice.
