YOUR TUTOR
Amy Letts - Professional Artist Tutor
Amy Letts teaches with relentless positivity and endless encouragement. She believes everyone's unique artistic voice is important and deserves to be heard.
Amy is autistic and art is her special interest, meaning she is enthusiastic to 'info-dump' about it to willing participants! She is skilled at breaking down the artistic process into simple steps that make sense, and helping students to take the steps they need to progress.
Drawing from life is part of her regular practise, and she loves to share the joy with others. So often we go through life without really appreciating what is around us and this is a tool we can use to be more connected and mindful.
