I’ve been passionate about art for as long as I can remember. My artistic journey began as a child in school art classes, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of teaching workshops on up cycling furniture and jewellery making. Watching people regardless of their experience discover their creative side keeps me inspired and excited to teach.
I love creating classes that are fun, supportive, and rooted in the belief that there’s no wrong way to make art. Whether someone is a complete beginner or a seasoned creator, I aim to provide a space where everyone feels comfortable and confident in their artistic journey.
One of the things I truly value as an instructor is the opportunity to learn from my students as much as they learn from me. Art is a continuous journey, and each workshop brings fresh ideas and inspiration. My ultimate goal is to cultivate a welcoming environment where individuals can explore their artistic potential, discover new skills, or simply enjoy a creative experience.
I’m currently studying the Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy Practitioner Training Course, which has been an incredibly enriching experience. This program integrates a holistic view of the body, mind, and spirit, using creative techniques like drawing, painting, movement, music, and storytelling. These approaches foster self-expression, emotional growth, and personal development elements I’m excited to incorporate into my workshops.
