Commissions
The bulk of my work is commissions, specialising in watercolour. I make portraits of children, adults, couples, families and pets from photos provided to me. I paint decorative pieces for wedding invitations and websites, restaurant menus, all catered to the client’s individual visions and requests. I paint with other materials too, mainly murals, oils and acrylics.

Studio work
I am very drawn to the human face, particularly the eye, and how they are meant to be the keys to recognition, deep connection and expression. Yet in today’s digital world we are exposed to an overstimulating ocean of faces. I am drawn to imagery where the face, the eye and the written word are fractured and frantically repeated, until their status as reliable vectors for expression become drawn into question.

Teaching
Teaching is my greatest passion. As Head of Art in a school in Kensington, London, I teach history of art, practical art classes, and run extra-curricular art clubs for all ages. I am available for private tuition upon request. I am interested in art therapy for adults and hope to integrate it into my yoga retreats.

Group Classes
I use my creativity to sequence fun and challenging Vinyasa flows that make sense, and that are sure to bring the practitioner out of the mind and into the body. Students can expect precise anatomical alignment, deep assists and hand-on adjustments, breath-work, immersive music and multi-sensory relaxation. The approach is empathetic, encouraging, playful and suited to all levels.

Private Lessons
Whether you are a beginner who is looking for a safer environment to explore the benefits of yoga, or an experienced practitioner who wants to deepen their practice and focus on their own personal goals and needs. I travel to client’s homes which is especially useful for those with a busy schedule. I also offer private classes at Integrity Center in Liverpool St.

Retreats
I will be hosting retreats in both the UK and in the Tuscan Hills where I grew up. The plan is to integrate the benefits of both art and yoga, and create a truly special and transformative experience, with delicious food cooked by my wonderful Italian chef boyfriend, Niccolò. Watch this space :)
