Diane

MA graduate from The Slade School of Fine Art (1st class distinction), and previously BA at City and Guilds of London Art School. As a tutor, I am specialising in art school applications, foundation, A-level and GCSE.

I can provide critical support for your art practice; to help you develop and communicate ideas and to fulfil your potential. Whether you need support to create your sketchbook, preparing for exams, building a portfolio for an application or personal projects. I am looking forward to discovering your practice and working together to help you achieve your goals.

I am a specialist in paintings and drawing techniques and have also knowledge in etching, sculpture and photography. I have a vast knowledge of art history as well as contemporary art discourse in London.

I have great Photoshop and InDesign skills and can also support you with technical know-how to document your work and assemble a portfolio.

Experience: I was an artist in residence at the Academy of Visual Art at Hong Kong Baptist University, tutoring and delivering talks to students alongside my studio practice, research and exhibition. Recent artist talks include;; an Architecture, Art and Design Symposium held by Design The Unpredictable and as a visiting art lecturer at Camberwell College of Art. I have also taught at Coolitart art classes at the Vauxhall community centre and for The Big Draw project intergenerational drawing ‘Vauxhall now and then’.
During the lockdown, I have been involved in community projects, including designing and leading a mural inspired by May Morris featuring flowers representing our neighbour’s international connections. I also created a colouring book, a collection of drawings and texts based on a series of works called Anxious Flowers made during the quarantine.
Since graduating, I have been a practising artist, focusing on painting. My work has been exhibited in the UK, Switzerland and Hong Kong and has been selected for prizes including The Marmite Painting Prize (Block 336, London, Highlanes Gallery, Ireland) and FBA Futures 2017 (Mall Gallery, London).
