Artist and Art teacher NOW IN MELBOURNE

HI!! My name is Rose. I am a professional artist and am an experienced children's art teacher and College lecturer.
I love drawing and painting, making and creating. My family run an Art School, founded in the 1890's by my Great Great Grandfather.
Last year I studied there full time, taking a year out from a work and from teaching.
I work for various companies again now, and i paint and draw and exhibit. I pose as a model for other artists sometimes too!

I am passionate about art, and about teaching art. I believe it is of the upmost importance to children to at least be offered an education in art. I believe all children are artists, and it the nurturing of that gift that can make the space in their later life for wonderful creative opportunities.
