PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Imaginative and passionate Art Educator with over five years of experience nurturing creativity in young learners aged 5 – 13. As a practicing visual artist with a rich exhibition history and a strong academic grounding in Fine and Industrial Arts, I bring both expertise and enthusiasm into the classroom. I specialize in designing engaging Fine Art lessons that spark curiosity, encourage self-expression, and connect meaningfully across subjects within the British National Curriculum. Dedicated to fostering a safe, inspiring, and inclusive learning space, I empower every child to confidently explore, experiment, and grow their artistic voice.
