Teaching
My role as an artist goes hand-in-hand with guiding others to develop a visual language in order to express themselves, at all stages of their artistic journey.
I hold a teaching qualification (PGCE, Oxon) and have experience teaching at all levels from Primary to Higher Education. I’ve held various posts and fulfilled many roles including: visiting artist, artist-in-residence, tutor, lecturer and Head of Art (running two successful departments) and recently been working full-time in an independent school in North Yorkshire.
Recent lectures and workshops include:
Higher Education:
• Critical Studies lecture “Romanticism”, Pembroke College, Oxford, outreach programme
• Foundation in Fine Art tutor, Somerville College, Oxford, summer programme.
Secondary:
• Portfolio reviews and mock interviews for sixth formers applying to art colleges
• Experimental painting and printmaking techniques
• New approaches to life drawing
• Critical studies seminars including "The impact of the Bauhaus", "The origins of video art".
Primary:
• Printmaking
• Drawing
• Painting
Artist and student development:
I regularly mentor artists in their studios and at Atelier St Louis, both in painting and printmaking, at all levels of their careers. I also carry out portfolio reviews for students studying for A’ Levels, Foundation courses and BA and MA degrees (St Martin’s, Camberwell, RCA).
