As an artist with 19+ years teaching experience, I have designed and continue to create resources for my students. The progress and development of their knowledge, skills and understanding is always at the forefront of all my planning. The resources are my own, and are suitable for one off lessons, schemes and/or cover sessions. Keep a look out for new uploads as I am continually researching, creating, designing and developing Secondary, Primary and Further Education resources.
