Hi, I am a qualified art teacher originally from Ireland and now living in the UK. I am also a practising artist and have exhibited my paintings across the UK and Ireland. When I'm not teaching on Outschool, I also deliver art workshops for the University of Arts, London. In addition to 13 years experience teaching Art and Design to children aged from 4 to 17, I have also taught courses in life skills such as resilience and growth mindset, both online and in the classroom. 
I am really passionate about helping children to develop or rediscover their creativity and maintain their confidence in art! So often children and young people lose their confidence in art and this can happen for a variety of reasons. I work with them to build their skills and change their mindset so that they can find joy in the process again.
My classes on Outschool teach key art concepts in fun and engaging ways. Different classes cover topics such as tone, colour and composition. My most popular classes are 'Everything You Need to Know About Drawing' and multi-day 'Build Art Skills and Confidence in Drawing' where I work with children who are very unconfident and benefit from a carefully designed plan, tailored to their needs. I am so pleased to have helped so many students like this rediscover their joy in making art. I really love it!
