Hi I'm Emily, I'm an artist and a teacher. After finishing a Masters of Art & Design in 2010 I returned to the simple joy of putting pencil to paper and just drawing. Since then drawing has become my passion as both an expressive art form and an enjoyable and mindful practice. In 2017 I started The Pencil Room, an art education studio in Napier, New Zealand, where I teach drawing and painting classes and workshops. In the last few years I have also been building online courses at The Pencil Room Online.

My approach to teaching drawing is to give my students the skills to draw anything they choose, rather than teaching the steps to drawing just one type of subject. I love the simplicity of drawing and I value doodling from the imagination as much as realistic drawing. Art doesn't need to be serious, it can be simple and playful. Making art can be fun, challenging and therapeutic and it can change the way you see the world!

I'd love to see your projects here on Skillshare and I always give feedback! If you are sharing work on social media you can tag me on Instagram or Facebook. As a Skillshare student you are also welcome to join my online student community group for art tips and feedback on your Skillshare projects.

Happy Drawing!!
