A personalised learning experience designed to help you grow as an artist. Build confidence, master the materials, and develop the techniques you need to create authentic, meaningful art.

Can you relate or is this you?

If these experiences resonate with you, it might be time to come back to your creativity.

01

You’re longing to create art again, but you feel unsure about techniques, theory, or how to use different materials properly.

02

Someone once told you you’re “not good at art,” and that limiting belief still echoes in the back of your mind.

03

You feel rusty and don’t know where to begin, frustrated that your skills seem out of practice and your ideas don’t flow the way they used to.

04

You catch yourself admiring other people’s art, feeling that gentle nudge inside… the one whispering that it might be time to pick up your pencil or brush again.

Imagine feeling reconnected to your inner artist

Feel your ideas returning, your confidence growing, and your authentic artistic voice becoming clearer with every lesson.

    “From having been told at school that I was ‘no good’ at art to now believing that anything is possible with the right guidance and support is such a great sense of accomplishment. I’ve worked with Nicki with many media’s and her knowledge, passion and ability to share this is second to none. The result of this, Nicki gave me confidence to believe in myself and start my own business.”

    "Nicki taught me the fundamentals of painting using acrylics which was a real confidence booster as someone who has little knowledge of the basics. Really welcoming and friendly teacher. Highly recommended for any budding artist of any level.”

    “I had the pleasure of attending Nicki’s art classes a number of times, Nicki is knowledgable, patient and helped me with various techniques I was looking to improve upon. She is an absolute asset if you’re looking to improve your art skills in any medium. Beautiful cosy studio and friendly regulars who attend too!”

    “I’ve been attending a shared fortnightly session with Nicki for some time, along with a friend who started before me. I’m so glad I decided to go! Whatever ideas or work we turn up with - very much on an individual basis - Nicki produces the appropriate materials and her insights and advice are fantastic. She has a wide range of in-depth knowledge and experience, and a way of honing straight in on what needs attention. I’d recommend her to anyone, whatever age!”
