I am a professional artist and art teacher living and working in Sheffield, UK

Born in Denmark I studied Graphic design and illustration before moving to the UK where I received a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art, Painting.  

I believe that no matter what you want to express with your own personal art work, the starting point is pretty much always the same. Using your eyes to truly observe is the fundamental key, even if your initial goal is to be able to draw from memory.  When meeting a new student, I like to find out what they are interested in and incorporate this in the learning experience, for example if the learner loves Pokemon or similar popular characters, the inspiration from these can provide an excellent variety of skills in creating shapes, textures, and other effects which can be transferred to many other drawing subjects the future. I also like to include discussion of the drawing skills and using discussion to feed the creativity of the learner (e.g. this may lead to bringing in background elements, action, or a backstory to the image).  

Art is not only a fun pastime, but also a great way for children to build confidence, creativity and increased concentration.  

There is no right or wrong in art, but continued learning and practice of some basic techniques and materials will enhance your ability to make constructive choices in the process of making, and communicate with feeling and true personal style. The foundations will always set you up well for continuing your creative development and advancing your skills.  

I have extensive knowledge and experience of drawing techniques, illustration, printmaking and art materials. During lessons I will be drawing alongside the learner, using a second camera for easy explaining and demonstrating.
