I am a passionate artist and educator with a Master's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Portsmouth. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of artistic principles and a commitment to fostering creativity in others.

During my master, I explored various mediums and techniques, showcasing a versatile approach to artistic expression. My dedication to the craft was evident in both the conceptual depth and technical prowess displays in my work.

As an art teacher and practicing artist, I am committed to cultivating a dynamic and inspiring learning environment. My approach to teaching involves integrating contemporary methods to provide students with a well-rounded understanding of art in the modern world. I believe in empowering my students to explore their creativity and develop a unique artistic voice.

In my art classes, I strive to create a space where experimentation is encouraged, and traditional boundaries are challenged. By embracing a mix of traditional and contemporary techniques, I aim to equip my students with a diverse skill set that prepares them for the evolving landscape of the art world.

Beyond technical proficiency, my goal is to instill a deep appreciation for the artistic journey. I encourage my students to view their art career as a continuous exploration, fostering a mindset that values both the process and the final creation. Through this approach, I aspire to guide emerging artists towards not only mastering their craft but also finding fulfillment and joy in the transformative power of art.
