I loved drawing, and at school I would draw instead of making notes. I never attended art school or art classes though.

I studied another direction, but was involved in a car accident, and couldn’t do what I used to do. I also had to learn again to use my hands. I did it by crocheting and arts and craft classes.

I did a portrait workshop, and went for art classes. But the art classes focused on contemperary methods. I would love to do this course to enhance my portrait painting skills, but also to learn to paint like the old masters did. It would compliment the skills I am learning at the drawing academy. …

I make sure to draw or paint daily to constantly keep improving my skills

I’m a self taught artist with some higher education in Fine Art. I’m Italian & English and currently based in the UK. I work full time in Admin and spend most evenings painting.

Art has and has always had a large place in my life. From visiting museums and spending time trying to recreate old master paintings, I study and read about various art movements. I also find the history and narrative behind old painting very interesting as they add to the piece’s intrigue. I make sure to draw or paint daily to constantly keep improving my skills.

I’d love to be able to create pieces of Art to honour the Renaissance Masters and keep this style of Art alive.
