Hello,

Being certified of the ECG in the Visual Arts section and having followed the majority of my schooling in this field, I wish to give drawing lessons to those who wish to improve in this field.

I offer courses of all kinds, according to the desires and the level of each one. I can teach you the techniques of sketching, observation and reporting in 2D and 3D, notions of perspectives, light and shadow, proportions like those of the human body, etc.

I want to give my lessons in a feeling of sharing knowledge acquired during my studies, moving away as far as possible from a school atmosphere. In my opinion, it is more pleasant to learn the specifics of drawing this way.

Of course, I am happy to adapt to the demands and expectations of my students.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.

Good day to you

Art and interior design go hand in hand.
Artwork should seamlessly blend with the space while showcasing the client’s personality.
However, incorrect placement within the interior can result in an unbalanced space and diminish the artwork’s aesthetic appeal.
Let’s explore ways to enhance interior aesthetics.

In drawing, there are no miracles: it is practice, training, perseverance, which are the sources of progress.

My support is adapted to the specific needs of each child in a caring and supportive environment, and is based on the methods of:

- art therapy and the expressive creative process
- medical relaxation techniques (RPMJ, autogenic training, visualizations, breathing techniques, etc.)
- Montessori pedagogy
- the psychological theory of transactional analysis
- the methodology of British paediatrician and psychoanalyst Dr Donald Winnicott

Creative techniques used include acrylic painting, oil painting, zentangle drawing, watercolour, watercolour pastels and pencils, mix-media, collage, structure paste, monotype printing using linocut, gel plates, stencils and stamps, scrapbooking, creative journal, crochet, weaving....

MY COMPETENCIES

I have trained in art therapy, relaxation and stress management techniques, and transactional analysis and possess a diploma as a Montessori teacher.

I have been an art therapist for 10 years, working in schools, institutions and private homes. I support children and adults. Currently, I am developing my activity in my private studio in Saint-Jean in Geneva.

I also possess a bachelor in science (Swiss engineering school) in the field of multimedia, as well as a DAS in visual communication. Subsequently, I held manager positions public organisations and private companies.

Are you a student, architect, interior designer, or real estate agent? Or simply someone who would like to master photorealistic 3D renderings?

I offer private lessons, both one-on-one and online, on Autodesk's 3ds Max software with the Corona rendering engine. Together, we'll explore how to best use 3ds Max for interior design projects.

We will go through all the stages of modeling, starting with the assembly of the main "box", the import of the different objects and their modification if necessary, the adjustment of the lights and the cameras, to finish with the export of the renderings and the post-production on Photoshop.

If you need help with a specific project, I can also help you optimize your scenes and render them faster and with better quality.

I am available Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9am and 7pm and travel to Nyon and the surrounding area.
I will be delighted to guide you in this exciting world of photorealistic 3D renderings!

*For the first course, we can establish your needs and skills, so that I can adapt the course to your profile.

As a qualified interior designer, I offer hand drawing and sketching classes for all levels. Drawing is an essential skill in my profession, but it's also a passion I've cultivated since childhood.
With my experience in architecture and design, I can help you improve your graphic design skills or develop a new artistic hobby. My classes are personalized and can cover several aspects: proportions, perspective, composition, color, speed drawing, and, above all, confidence in your technique.
Whether you're a beginner, a student, or a drawing enthusiast, I adapt to your desires and pace. Classes can focus on observational sketching, imagination, or even projects related to architecture and interior design.
Classes can also be adapted for children, to encourage their creativity, develop their sense of observation and their artistic skills in a fun and progressive way.

I teach classes for beginners who are new to drawing or those who draw regularly but can't seem to make progress. I focus above all on the pleasure of drawing; it's very important to me that you feel comfortable and enthusiastic about creating! The first class begins with a discussion to get to know each other (your tastes, your ambitions, etc.) in order to assess your skills and then structure the classes. The classes take place in 3 stages:
- Correction of training drawings between lessons
- Theory (anatomy, proportions, character design, etc.)
- Putting theory into practice through exercises
My goal is to bring my students to a level where they no longer need me, so I try to bring a true understanding of volumes, proportions and the harmony of forms so that drawing no longer becomes an exercise or a distant talent but a pleasure.
