I’ve been an artist and art educator for nearly five years now, but in many ways, the seed was planted much earlier. My real love affair with painting -and especially watercolour - began when I realised how intuitive and freeing it felt once I move to London as a teenager. Away from my home, Art offered a way to connect with myself and the people around me.The spark to start teaching came during my A-level studies, when I began running small workshops for friends and teaching at a local after school art class for children. What started as casual gatherings turned into a deeper passion: I found real joy in guiding others to uncover their creativity, especially those who didn’t think of themselves as "artistic." Seeing someone’s confidence bloom through making, watching their face light up when something they've painted surprises them, is endlessly rewarding.Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching students of all ages, both in schools and privately, and I now offer watercolour sessions for birthdays, team building, and creative evenings among friends. I bring all the materials and tailor each session to the group’s vibe, whether it’s relaxed and playful or more focused and meditative. We can meet anywhere that’s meaningful to the group - at home, in a hired space, even outdoors in good weather.Beyond teaching, my own art practice explores themes of identity, the body, and storytelling. I’ve exhibited my work and contributed to collaborative art projects that combine research, visual storytelling, and environmental awareness. I'm currently finishing my degree in Fine Art Painting at The University of Arts London, where I’ve been deepening my practice both technically and conceptually.Something people often don’t realise is how accessible and healing art-making can be. You don’t need to be “good at art” to enjoy it, you just need to be open to the process. That’s the atmosphere I try to create in every session: welcoming, playful, and pressure-free.If you're looking for an inspiring, meaningful experience to share with your friends, family, or colleagues, I’d love to guide you through it.
