SERVICES
ONLINE COURSES
deep dive into a specific artistic skill with one of my online drawing or painting courses. There is plenty to choose from. Watercolour painting, charcoal drawing, markers, pencils, portraits, landscapes or abstracts. Pick your favourite subject and get started straight away.
CREATIVE COMMUNITY
Drawing and painting together with a group of other creative individuals. Join the online live events or watch all content back in your own time. The online community is the creative push you need to start your sketchbook practice and build that creative habit!
LIVE EVENTS
You can often find me drawing and painting live at events. Hosting a demo or workshop, talking about creativity, creating a mural or canvas on location. I thrive on the mix of chatting and painting!
ILLUSTRATION
I help green organisations, articles and books stand out with impactful handmade illustrations.
LEARN TO DRAW
This happens time and time again.
People come to me and say: “ I am not creative, I cannot even draw a stick man”
and then a few weeks later I receive a message saying something along the lines of: “My live has changed, I love making art now. I used to be so scared of doing it wrong but now I am proud of my paintings and drawings!”
My point is, drawing and paintings are skills that everyone can learn! Drawing is not a magical talent that only a select few have, with a little practice and dedication you can learn to draw too!

Courses
Start your creative practice from home and at your own pace.
In each of my courses you can look over my shoulder and see in real time what I do.
In each lesson I talk you though my decision making process and most important, I will teach you the creative skills that you need to start making art that is entirely your own.
My drawing and painting courses are for beginners and more experienced artists and each course comes with a list of recommend art materials.
Workshops and Events
I am available for online and in-person events at your venue or in my studio space at Together Culture in Cambridge where I can host up to 15 people.
I regularly host team building workshops, creative group events, corporate socials and I host art demo's at trade fairs. If you have an idea of how to work together, please contact me with the details.
