About Me
Multi-disiplinary artist and educator passionate about teaching that is engaging and fun! After all, that's how we learn, isn't it?
I am an empathetic and caring teacher who listens to the student needs and I use a range of strategies, including participation, poetry, games and practical ways to break down themes, making arts accessible to everyone.
Inspired by the power that art has to connect people, I teach, curate and facilitate arts workshops for community groups, care homes and social projects. Participants not only learn, but are also encouraged to exchange skills.
I've also created a methodology to run participatory tours through creativity that I customize for these groups in galleries and museums in London, as well as for individuals and small groups upon request.

Creative mentoring for artists who wants to make a difference and stand out from the crowd!
I have experience mentoring young people and people changing into an arts career. I also help artists from all stages of their careers successfully applying for grants.
Let's embark together on this journey! Mentoring and coaching sessions include:
- Find your Voice as an Artist
- Writing About Your Art Practice
- Developing Your Critical Thinking
- Applying for Grants
- Portfolio preparation
- Spotting your challenges
- Resilience for Creatives
- Or just tailored to you needs.
Please note that the 30min session is ONLY to talk through your concerns and how you'd like to work together in the next sessions.
After the first session, we agree what the goals are for you and the number of sessions. I recommend a minimum of five session as it helps establishing trust, time to go through any challenges and for a positive transformational change.
Please prepare for the first session: think of what's holding you back, challenges you're facing. But no need to worry much: it will also be an opportunity for me to learn more about your work and career.
