Your teacher
In 2020, I rediscovered my love for drawing and painting, and it quickly became much more than a hobby. I became fascinated by realistic art and the process of turning what I see into something on paper. I spent countless hours learning, practising and experimenting, constantly looking for ways to improve and understand the techniques behind realistic artwork.As my passion for art grew, I realised how much I enjoyed sharing what I had learnt with others. I began teaching art in 2022, initially with children, and later expanded my classes to adults.I believe anyone, with the right guidance and practice, can learn to draw. I enjoy breaking down complex subjects into simple, achievable steps and helping students learn to really observe, understand what they see and build confidence in their skills.For me, art is also about slowing down and enjoying the process. In our busy lives, sitting down with a pencil or brush and focusing on the little details can be a wonderful way to relax, be present and spend some creative time with yourself.Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, my classes are designed to be relaxed, supportive and enjoyable — a place to learn new skills, build confidence and simply enjoy creating.
