ABOUT ME
I began teaching art fifteen years ago in South Africa where I had previously trained at the Cape Town College of Education, gaining an FDE in Art. I headed the Art Department at The Grove School, Newlands in Cape Town for three years before moving to the United Kingdom where I was appointed as Head of Art at the Hall School Wimbledon. I began teaching adult art classes, to what I like to call, ‘the art terrified’ back in South Africa in 1998. These classes were so popular that after settling in the UK, I decided to start a class in my home in Wimbledon Village in 2004. The classes grew and before I knew it, we had moved to the Wimbledon Village Hall in Lingfield Road.
After a move to West Wimbledon in 2005, I built a studio in my Garden in Amity Grove where I taught weekly evening classes for adults while teaching children in the day. I was also the first art teacher in London to offer a life drawing Hen party class! It is now with great joy that I am able to begin the next chapter in the history of my art career and invite you to join one of my courses on offer today at our studio in our shop “Nicholas & Steele”, 78 Durham Road, West Wimbledon, SW20 0TL.
