Bio
I work predominately in painting and drawing. I trained at Royal Drawing School London and Turps Art School London. I have been teaching art to various levels since 2010. After graduating I ran drawing classes for the Royal Drawing School in various London museums including Whitechapel Gallery, The V&A Museum, The National Gallery, and Saatchi Gallery. I simultaneously set up and ran Root Drawing, an experimental drawing class for local artists. On residency in India I taught on the BA Fine Art Program and on my return to London taught further education courses at the Art Academy London. I have since developed my own practice in painting at the Turps Art School in London. For the last four years I ran the A level Art department at the Krishnamurti school- Brockwood Park in Hampshire, UK. I now continue my artistic practice in residence at Backsteinboot Berlin while tutoring at the Burnt Sienna Art School, Berlin. I have recently set up a Museums Drawing Course where I take students around all the state museums of Berlin covering both contextual art history and drawing skills.
