My practice takes a context-specific approach that develops through long-term conversations with artists, students, and communities and results in a process of co-creation.

Join me to learn Painting!
You can learn and enjoy the painting to be an skilled artist.
You don't need any previous skill or painting background.
I will show you the beauty of drawing.
I will hold your hands from the first steps of learning painting.

Taking a course with me in poetry and creative writing will be tailored to your age group and specific needs. As a a tutor, I am broad in my interests and am happy to gage in adherence to your style and the path of finding your own voice in expressive, art lead writing.

Painting is a beautiful and timeless form of expression, offering something for everyone—from complete beginners to seasoned artists. In these classes, you’ll be guided through the full creative process, starting with concept development and initial sketches. Together, we’ll explore the technical fundamentals of oil painting, including color mixing, layering techniques, brushwork, and understanding mediums. You’ll also learn how to prepare your materials, work with different surfaces, and develop your unique artistic style.

Each class is tailored to your individual pace and skill level, ensuring a supportive environment while encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone. Through guided experimentation, you’ll build confidence, expand your creative boundaries, and develop a deeper understanding of oil painting as both a technical craft and a powerful form of self-expression. Whether you're looking to improve your skills or simply try something new, these classes will equip you with the tools to create stunning, meaningful artworks.

Are you ready to step into your creativity? Whether you're looking for encouraging and supportive classes for your child in pre-school/primary, art tutoring for your teenager at secondary school, or you are an adult of any age looking to start or expand your art practice, I am here to learn your needs and create tailored tutoring for you

In a friendly and supportive environment, you'll be guided to explore different mediums, play with ideas and concepts in art, and build confidence in the skills that you want to hone. We will start by getting to know each other and together decide what you would like to explore and gain from tutoring sessions. Lessons will be adapted to your age, level and interests, and will be geared towards experimental making, challenging you to think outside the box, and most of all enjoying the creative process! I am here to support your needs and encourage your creative expression.

I am flexible to support you or your child with different art forms- over the years I have worked with painting, drawing, collage, film photography, dance, performance art, sculpture, experimental printing, textiles, writing, land art, sound installation. I work with a focus on the making process over the outcome, experimental making, thinking outside the box, and playing with elements of freedom, accident and chance. I take an interdisciplinary approach to Art as connected to all the other subjects and systems in the world, with particular interest in science, nature and ecology.

Learn how to draw and paint at your own pace, whether you're just starting out or already have experience and want to try new techniques or materials. With years of teaching experience in both private and group settings, I provide personalized lessons that focus on building your skills and confidence while keeping the process fun and inspiring. As an active artist studying at the Glasgow School of Art, I bring fresh insights and practical skills to every session. Let’s create something great together!

Join this workshop and demonstration where you will learn how to create an expressive portrait, where we look at how mark making through brush strokes and the use of colour palette can make an expressive, meaningful portrait. Learn how to layer in watercolour.

What you will need:

- watercolour paper, preferably A4 or A3 size.
- a set of watercolours
- a selection of brushes
- HB / 2B pencil

I will have a portrait photo that I will have you work on, I will show you techniques during demonstration and will help throughout.

Hope to see you there and happy drawing!
