About Me

Meet Your Tutor and Course Creator

Hi, I'm Lucy - and I have been drawing, making and reading for as long as I can remember!

I teach from the heart, but I'm also deeply grounded in academic rigour. If you're looking for a dynamic educator who can instil both creative and critical skills and in your child, then we should talk. I believe in making art education accessible, enjoyable, and empowering for all.

Educated at the Ruskin School of Art at Oxford University and the Royal College of Art (RCA) London, I bring years of practical, theoretical, and professional art experience to my teaching. But I’m also a huge bookworm with a languages obsession, which is why I became CELTA-qualified and now enjoy teaching both Art and English.

As a Qualified Tutor, I’ve got you covered with DBS clearance and Safeguarding and Prevent training, ensuring a professional and supportive learning environment.

Whether you’re home-educating or pursuing your GCSE Art, my goal is to guide you through a creative adventure, where you’ll develop both technical skills and personal expression. Let’s grow together and make something amazing!

What is LUDUS Art School?

LUDUS is an online and in-person art school! It's a supportive space to explore, make, and grow through art - with structure and creative freedom. Founded by an artist–educator with over 15 years' experience, LUDUS offers project-based art courses that centre the learner, not the grade. You’ll find thoughtful guidance, downloadable resources, and room to work at your own pace — no pressure, no perfectionism. Come on in and see what we have to offer!

At LUDUS Art School, I offer a flexible, student-centred approach that empowers each learner to thrive.

Every student is unique, and so is their learning journey. Whether you're working towards your GCSE Art, exploring new creative techniques, or just discovering the joy of making art, I’ll guide you through the process every step of the way.

The structure is designed to give students room to work at their own pace — with no pressure, no perfectionism, and plenty of room for creative exploration. My aim is to help you develop your skills, build confidence, and express yourself in a way that feels both authentic and personal.

Expect interactive video lessons, sketchbook challenges, and project-based learning that bring theory and practice together. I make sure the material is accessible, engaging, and supportive, no matter your experience level.

Who Is LUDUS Art School For?

The short answer is, it is for everyone. You are all very welcome here.

Whether you’re working towards your GCSE Art or just exploring new creative techniques, my aim is to guide you through every step with personalised support and encouragement. I work with home-educated students, students in school, independent learners, and adults - helping them build skills, confidence, and a love for art.

How do I know if a course is suitable for my child?

You can try the Creative Kickstart course for free - head to the Art School section in the top site menu. Take it for a spin, see if it's a good fit.
