Personally tailored Art classes (taught in English) for all ages and abilities — painting, drawing, watercolour, and digital!

Hej hej!

I am an English artist with a Master of Visual Art postgraduate degree, passionate about working with people of all ages and abilities!

I run art classes, teaching entirely in English (British). I tailor my classes to each student and am able to travel or hold classes at my location.

The focus of the class would depend on your own goals so we would begin by working out what is important and fun to you rather than following a strict 'one size fits all' lesson plan.

I have lots of experience with children, so if this class is for your kids, you can think of it as paying for a nanny at the same time!

Please look at my website for different examples of art I make in my own practice and get in touch with any questions.

I would love to hear from you soon and can't wait to make some art with you!

Extra information

Depending on your current ability level and your goals, we will work out the best way forward before I recommend you to buy any materials.

(For the first lesson, I am able to provide materials.)

About Me

I am a professional artist from England. I spent 10 years living and working in New Zealand, 2 years in Uppsala, Sweden, and am now happily living and working in Perth, Western Australia.

I am as passionate about teaching and learning as I am about art!

I have designed and produced a range of greeting cards that I sell through stores in New Zealand and my own webshop. I have illustrated books (from Science books published by Springer, to children's storybooks); sold paintings and sculptures, and designed and manage my own website.

I would love to hear more about you and your goals. Why are you thinking about taking art classes? Is there something, in particular, that you want to learn? Do get in touch and let me know - I can't wait to hear from you and make some art together!

Excellent and very relaxing painting class!
They say that if one can't explain something in it's most basic form then the individual doesn't trully understand their craft. Well, Katy's lessons have allowed me, a complete novice, to pick up something that is way outside of my comfort zone or usual area of venturing. I really enjoy the class approach, professional but relaxed. Learning things fast but easy. Very happy and highly recommend Katy!

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Mastering Painting & Drawing Techniques with Art History Insights
"Immerse yourself in the world of fine arts with a class designed to build technical skill and artistic understanding! As a fine arts graduate specializing in painting, I bring hands-on expertise in pencil drawing, watercolor, acrylic, and pastels. In addition to practical techniques, we’ll explore key movements in art history, providing context and inspiration to deepen your creative work. This class is ideal for beginners eager to learn foundational skills and for more experienced artists looking to refine their techniques while gaining historical insights. Together, we’ll work through form, color theory, and composition, enhancing your skills and understanding of art. Join me to explore the rich tradition of fine arts through practice and study!" My Teaching Style: I believe every artist has their own voice, and my goal is to bring that voice to life. Each lesson begins with a foundational exercise tailored to your level—whether it’s exploring shading techniques, experimenting with color, or working on brush control. I guide you through practical demonstrations and then provide you the space to create freely with constructive feedback to support your growth. Alongside technique, I introduce art history elements to spark ideas and show how art can reflect your personal expression. Let’s work together to refine your skills, build confidence, and bring your artistic vision to life!"
