About Me
Scarlett, (She/Her b.1982, UK)

Scarlett is a multi-disciplinary creative who has fostered partnerships with a variety of reputable brands, institutions, and educational establishments. Having completed her Masters in Global Cultural and Creative Industries at the School of Oriental and African Studies, she specializes in project managing creative strategies focused on co-creating with inner city communities across the UK.

Her personal work includes sculptural, print, drawn, and audio work that examines the semiotics of race and class by creating images that interrogate power structures by portraying narratives of the under-represented. To mark the introduction of the Race Relations Acts the Houses of Parliament commissioned artist Scarlett to undertake a residency to create work with communities across the UK that were impacted by the introduction of the early race discrimination legislation. This culminated in an exhibition at Westminster Palace in early 2019.

In her role as educator, she worked with pupil referral units, the long-term unemployed, male and female young offenders and girls affected by gender violence. She has facilitated for organizations such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery and AfroPunk and given talks for the London Arts Fair, the National Photography Symposium, and BBC Radio 4. In 2019, she worked with NTS Radio for Top Boy and Netflix. In 2020 for the Barbican and Museum of London on the Cultural Mile project, and Netflix and more recently with the Jordan brand on their first Black History Season in the UK in 2021.

I am an oil pastel lover who turns to this medium again and again — when I’m happy, tired, bored, overwhelmed, or simply longing to be surrounded by colour. Oil pastels have accompanied me through many moments of life, always offering comfort, freedom, and expression.

Every time I paint with oil pastels, I find a sense of relaxation and inner peace — something increasingly precious in our fast-paced world.

Oil pastels are, to me, a truly magical material. They can be firm or soft, bold or delicate, layered or blended. With just your hands and simple tools, they invite both control and spontaneity, making them perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.

In an age where AI can generate endless images, I believe deeply in preserving the human act of creation — the joy of touching materials, playing with colour, and allowing emotions to flow through the hands. Painting is not just about making images; it is about reconnecting with ourselves.

I believe everyone has the ability to create art. Everyone has their own sense of colour, rhythm, and expression.

**** What you will learn in this class ****
🖼️ Essential oil pastel techniques (layering, blending, texture, and composition)

🎨 Colour combinations and how to develop your own colour language

🖌️ Creative approaches to painting freely and intuitively

🧘 How to use painting and colour as a tool for relaxation, emotional release, and self-care

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. No prior art experience is required — only curiosity and openness!

**** Materials ****
In-person sessions: All materials are provided, including oil pastels, paper, masking tape, and palette knives. Just bring yourself.
Online sessions: Materials are not provided, but I will guide you in advance on what to prepare and how to use simple and accessible supplies.

In our sessions, we don’t just paint — we explore, connect, and gently listen to our inner world.

I look forward to sharing this colourful, calming, and meaningful journey with you!
