Through the creative medium of visual art, I will fit the lesson plan according to your needs. Do you want to learn colour theory? I will teach you, using information from key texts. Would you like to learn how to travel journal successfully for an upcoming trip? Let me know and I can work with you to create an entirely unique lesson centred on the materials you want to use, how to use them and how to create habits. I've internationally exhibited in many mediums, as well as nationally (in the UK) over 20 times, including with the Tate, with the Mayflower 400 initiative, a space arts and God's House Tower. I work traditionally in physical mediums such as watercolour, oil paint, acrylics, gouache, coloured pencil, charcoal and graphite. I graduated with a First Class BA Honours in Fine Art from Southampton University. I run workshops for groups locally, and work with therapeutic art techniques. I'm well-versed in grant writing, having achieved 3 successful grants to date and my work is featured in a number of publications. I have been fortunate enough to have works in private collections. My hours are flexible, and the range of mediums I work in is too. I have experience teaching, and am bilingual in English and Greek.

For online classes in art, graphic design, fashion, and games design, here is an updated list of topics, starting with fine art: Fine Art: Exploring Contemporary Practices – Teach students about contemporary fine art techniques and concepts, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Explore how artists today address themes like identity, politics, and culture, and encourage students to develop their own visual language and creative voice through hands-on projects. Graphic Design Fundamentals – Teach essential principles of graphic design, such as composition, typography, color theory, and branding. Students can apply these concepts to real-world projects, such as logo design or digital advertising campaigns. Fashion Design: Concept to Creation – Guide students through the process of fashion design, from sketching initial concepts to creating mood boards, selecting fabrics, and producing designs that reflect both trends and personal creativity. You could also cover sustainable fashion practices. Art in Game Design – Explore how visual art and storytelling work together in game design. Teach students about creating compelling game environments, character design, and integrating art direction with game mechanics to build immersive experiences. Digital Art and Illustration – Focus on digital illustration techniques for art, fashion, or games, using software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or Procreate. Include lessons on concept art, character design, and marketing visuals. Sustainable Practices in Fashion and Design – Discuss the importance of sustainability in fashion and graphic design, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Teach how to create designs that minimize environmental impact while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Fashion Illustration and Digital Rendering – Introduce students to fashion illustration techniques, from hand-drawing sketches to creating polished digital renders. Cover both traditional and digital tools to bring their designs to life. Concept Art for Games – Focus on the process of creating concept art for games, from environment design to character development. Show how concept art helps shape the visual direction and storytelling in game design.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation. Are you applying to university for a creative subject? I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally. I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds. I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes. My guidance may include: 1- Developing original ideas and personal themes. 2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes. 3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques. 4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills. 5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios. 6- Personal-statement and interview preparation. 7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses. My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further. Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process. Online lessons are available internationally.
