ABOUT SUE
I am a Brazilian Art Director, Illustrator and Visual Artist with over 18 years of experience in advertising, branding, visual communication and creative development. My Bachelor’s degree is recognised in Ireland as an NFQ Level 8 qualification, and I am currently undertaking postgraduate studies in Education, progressing toward NFQ Level 9.
Alongside my professional artistic practice, I am completing a QQI Level 5 qualification in Early Learning and Care, expanding my knowledge of child development, inclusive learning and age-appropriate creative experiences.
My workshops combine professional artistic expertise with an encouraging, flexible and learner-centred approach. Every session is thoughtfully designed around the age, interests, confidence and creative experience of each group.
Rather than simply teaching artistic techniques, I encourage participants to observe more closely, think creatively and develop their own visual language through curiosity, experimentation and artistic exploration.
Whether working with young children discovering art for the first time, teenagers developing their artistic voice or adults reconnecting with creativity, my goal is to create meaningful, engaging and inspiring artistic experiences that nurture confidence, imagination and self-expression.
