My teaching methods are traditional for the most part, looking at techniques and the essential building blocks necessary for personal creativity. We take inspiration from other artists and I hope to eventually guide you towards your own individual expression.

I will be teaching primarily in french, but I can help English speakers to follow along!

Please have a look on the page ‘testimonials‘ (most are in French but I frequently have English speaking students in my classes.)
