About me

Artist, Art Educator and Author

Hi, I'm Soma — and I believe anyone can paint. I've spent over 16 years proving it to 1,500+ students who once thought they couldn't. 

 My path here wasn't a straight line — a Bachelor's and PhD in Architecture gave me a deep grounding in form, composition and design, a teaching and learning qualification shaped how I teach, and coaching training taught me how to help people move past the fear that usually stops them before they start.  

Welcome — I hope this becomes a space where art turns into an everyday part of your life.

About OUR COURSES

 I'm a firm believer in the "anyone can paint" school of thought — because I've watched people with the artistic equivalent of two left feet master techniques that no-one, including themselves, ever thought they could pull off.

 The secret was never talent. It was their willingness to create, paired with a teaching method that encourages you to be fearless and adventurous while you paint. I've spent years refining that method so that beginners with two left feet can find their creative voice, learn techniques that actually work, and enjoy every brushstroke along the way.  

If you're looking for art that's easy to learn, easy to paint, and sets you on a path of self-discovery — you're exactly where you're meant to be.
