With over 18 years as an Art Specialist and former Head of Department, I have helped hundreds of children and adults discover confidence through creativity—whether preparing successful scholarship portfolios, developing GCSE and A Level work, or simply rediscovering the joy of making art. 

Whether you're taking your very first creative steps, preparing an art portfolio, or rediscovering a lifelong passion for making, every session is designed around you.

I offer bespoke one-to-one art tutoring for both children and adults from my peaceful home studio, creating a calm, inspiring environment where creativity can flourish.

As a professional artist and qualified Art Specialist with over 18 years of teaching experience, I combine technical expertise with a nurturing, personalised approach. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your interests, goals and individual learning style, allowing you to progress at your own pace while developing confidence, creativity and technical skill.

There are no "one-size-fits-all" lessons. Every creative journey is unique.

Perhaps you've always wanted to learn to draw, explore painting, develop your sketchbook practice or simply make time for yourself through creativity.

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your existing skills, sessions are designed around your personal interests and ambitions.

Together we can explore a wide range of artistic techniques and materials, including:

• Pencil and ink drawing
• Watercolour
• Acrylic and oil painting
• Charcoal and pastel
• Clay and sculpture
• Mixed media
• Printmaking
• Textile and sewing projects
• Sketchbook development

Many adults come simply to slow down, reconnect with their creativity and enjoy the mindful process of making.

A complimentary 15-minute consultation is available to discuss your goals and ensure sessions are tailored specifically to you.

Children thrive when they are encouraged to explore, experiment and express themselves without fear of getting things wrong.

My mentoring sessions provide a supportive environment where young artists can develop both technical skills and creative confidence through carefully planned, engaging projects.

Whether your child simply loves creating, would benefit from individual support, or is working towards an Art Scholarship or GCSE portfolio, each programme is individually designed around their interests, strengths and aspirations.

Previous students have successfully gained Art Scholarships at schools including Royal Masonic School for Girls and Thorpe House School.

Individual mentoring is ideal for:

• Building artistic confidence
• Developing observational drawing skills
• Expanding creative thinking
• Art Scholarship preparation (11+ and 13+)
• GCSE and A Level portfolio development
• Exam preparation
• Sketchbook development
• Building a professional portfolio
• Exploring new techniques and media

Every session is bespoke and may explore themes such as:

• Observational drawing
• Portraiture and the human form
• Still life
• Nature and landscapes
• Animals and wildlife
• Perspective
• Architecture and man-made forms
• Contemporary and historical artists
• Photography and mixed media
• Sculpture and ceramics

Students are encouraged to work across a wide variety of materials including pencil, pen and ink, charcoal, pastels, watercolour, acrylic, oil paint, clay, collage, printmaking and mixed media.

Above all, sessions are designed to nurture curiosity, encourage experimentation and help every individual discover their own unique creative voice.
