5.0 (3)Hi There, I'm Alex and I'm a Melbourne based visual artist and life drawing teacher. For the past 10 years or so I have been doing set and costume design for theatre and working as an event stylist.
By working in the event industry over the years, I would be involved in all sorts of crazy set ups. But my favourite was working with our costume department and would be creating the costumes, wigs and make up for the performers only for them to be seen for maybe 20 minutes and then never to be seen again! So much blood, sweat and tears for a little moment of time!
It inspired me to create my own set of characters and put them in a life drawing setting, giving myself and others the chance to sit with them a while longer and enjoy the colourful world before us.
I feel passionate about reconnecting to the sheer joy of drawing and quietening the inner critic. I am here to help you reconnect to your creative nature and just have some fun!

A very enjoyable afternoon! Just what I needed to get me inspired and feeling good about drawing again.
The rocco queen costume was exquisitely detailed and such fun to draw! Alex had gone to so much trouble creating the large Marie Antoinette-inspired wig alone.
We did a number of warming up exercises which were great ways to prompt my memory of techniques I had previously learned but forget to apply.
Alex was lovely and helpful with providing us tips in our works. She even provided some lovely cakes and macaroons for afternoon tea.
This class has really improved my confidence. I'll definitely come back again when she has another class.
Teacher's response
Thank you Eliza for your lovely review!
It was such a pleasure having you there and your review describes exactly why and who I am doing these classes for.
I’m so glad that you feel more confident and reconnected to drawing again.
Looking forward to seeing you at the next one in June.
