A Brief History
I studied Fine Art (Painting), at Wimbledon School of Art, 2001-2004. After some time working as a painter and doing a variety of jobs to pay the bills, I found myself, almost by accident, in an art department as a general technician and unqualified teacher. To my surprise I really enjoyed the teaching side of things and went on to take my PGCE at the Institute of Education, University of London, 2007-2008. Since then I have worked full-time teaching art and continue to paint in my free time and during the holidays.
