ABOUT ME
After 25 fun-filled years of teaching art in both primary and secondary school settings, I decided to found Red Robin Art Academy as a way of combining my love of teaching with a lifelong passion for fine art.
As a largely self-taught artist, I learnt my trade through years of adult education as well as many long hours of practice and self-study. My first love is portrait painting and I have completed a number of paid commissions in both acrylics and oils. However, part of the joy of discovering art is experimenting with different media and, over the years, I have also worked extensively with charcoal, gouache, watercolour and mixed-media.
Having fun and building confidence must always come first in any kind of art education which is why my classes are scaffolded for all abilities whilst also encouraging the more intrepid to explore, experiment and take risks! Each class will present a safe, warm and friendly atmosphere where students will have the chance to share work, discuss ideas and inspire each other – the beauty of art is we never stop learning!
Classes are kept purposely small, which ensures, not only ample work space, but also a strong element of personalised, student-led tuition.
