Hello! I am an artist, Montessori teacher and Reiki therapist. I have an MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins. I have exhibited widely as an artist, currently on display in the Saatchi Gallery, London. I can help with portfolio prep and development for Art Foundation, A-Level, GCSE, BA and Masters applications. I can help adults or children unlock their creativity and become confident or inspired by following their passion and intuition. I can help with sketchbook development, developing painting techniques and skills, learning about materiality and how to use different materials, learning about abstract expressionism and expressive mark making, how to start making basic sculptures at home, colour theory, Feminist art history, how to do gestural art and various exercises for art as therapy if you are in need of some healing and mindfulness. I also teach Art History and can assist with tutoring for GCSE and A-Level or if you are an adult learner or looking for your child I can adapt art history themes for both depending on your interests and needs. I am a fluent Italian speaker and can also tutor for Italian GCSE and A level or for general language practice for adults and children.

Availability: Monday all day and evening, Tuesday all day and Thursday afternoons and evenings. I am flexible so can also work the weekend if you need. Get in touch to discuss further.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I graduated from the Master`s of Fine Art course at Central Saint Martins with a Distinction. I was awarded the Cass Art Prize 2021 for innovative use of materials. I have ten years of experience teaching art workshops all over the world. I have worked with refugees in Greece, taught art for empowerment to women in Nepal, worked with children in Thailand, taught at schools in Berlin and Barcelona and worked on creative projects for conflict resolution in both Israel and Bosnia. I also have a Montessori teaching diploma and worked for many years in Montessori schools.
