I’m Sam, the artist and teacher behind Wangaratta Art School.

I’ve created a private studio where people can learn real art skills without the pressure of a busy classroom. Because I work one-to-one, I get to know how each person thinks, communicates and creates. I can slow things down, explain something differently, follow an unexpected idea or spend three hours getting properly absorbed in one piece of work.

My approach is patient, practical and encouraging. I’ll support you, but I’ll also teach you what you need to know and help you see where your artwork can go next.

I hold a Diploma of Art Therapy and a Diploma of Nursing, along with a current Working with Children Check, National Police Check and NDIS Worker Screening Check.
