There's a big wild world out there, just waiting for you!

About Me
Nature and art have been my two greatest loves for my whole life, and I enjoy opening others' eyes to the wonder and beauty of nature through art. Each of us has a unique perspective and artistic language, and my pedagogical approach is to help each student find their own artistic voice and vision.
Perhaps a plus is that, since I am a native English speaker, I can also conduct my art classes in English for students who would like to practice their language skills.

Education
I have a university degree in art history from my studies in the United States and have studied drawing at the Royal Fine Arts Academy in Brussels (Académie Royale des Beaux Arts de Bruxelles, Art Academy of Ixelles), as well as courses in printmaking and illustration.
Experience / Qualifications
Since 2004 I have pursued art and illustration full-time, and have had many solo and shared exhibitions in Belgium and beyond. I spend a lot of time sketching outdoors and observing nature and wildlife in all its variety, both great and small.
I also have been doing printmaking since 2011, and illustration for fiction and non-fiction articles and books.

If you love animals and love to draw, then this is the course for you. We'll start off with basic anatomy of a variety of animals, since understanding their inner structure is essential for accurate drawing. We'll also cover animal movement, and how their form changes as they move. Then, best of all, we'll also draw animals from life!
