Alex

I am a professional practicing artist specialising in painting, drawing and illustration, mixed media/collage, digital photography/image manipulation, digital storytelling and film making. I have a degree in Visual Arts and have also studied on an MA programme in Participatory & Community Arts at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

I like teaching and learning to be a two way interactive process and like to involve my students as much as possible in decision making, enabling them to take ownership of their own creative learning. I am a calm and relaxed teacher and approach sessions in a patient and understanding manner. I am friendly with a good sense of humour, firmly believing that in order for a student to learn they must also have fun along the way.

Please see my photos for examples of past work and projects.

Experience: I have worked in various community arts and educational settings for 10 years, facilitating arts teaching sessions across a wide range of ages, abilities and backgrounds. In addition to one-to-one tutoring students at their own homes, I have also taught in schools, libraries, galleries, museums, community centres, health & social care settings, charities, youth groups, refugee centres and prisons. I believe this experience has provided me with a strong grounding and flexibility in teaching techniques, enabling me to cater my methods to the specific needs of each individual student. Most recently I have been employed as an arts practitioner working with offenders in and out of prison for the arts charity Stretch, and as lead artist co-producing a film with the Barnet Refugee Service youth group.
