“Space”

Space fascinates me. Not just the one with the stars and black holes and what not. But just, the concept of space. My space, your space. Big, small. Small can feel safe and big can feel small.

Learning basic and advanced art skills doesn’t have to be tedious or uninspiring. I love teaching people how to work on their goals by combining technical exercises with creative, dynamic projects. Art is more than just a skill; it’s a healing mindset.

I have both shorter workshops and extensive courses available; whatever suits your creative need right now. I give feedback and support in my safe, private Facebook group!

Thoughts, happenings and community

I love sharing my thoughts, studio and projects in something less fleeting than social media. You’ll also find a bunch of free resources such as videos and reference images here. Your feedback always makes me feel good so leave a comment if you’d like.

Any recognisable shape or form. Your pupils dilate to allow whatever light there is, in. In that darkness, something takes shape. It takes a…

    As much as I struggled with the concept of hope in the early stages of this project, the more clear it became to me what a privilege it is. To have the place, the time and the safety to consider such things. My one figure looking to the left, their hand open, asking: “Where do…
