AnnaArt Workshops

As an artist (Painter, Photographer and Art Tutor) I see these Art Workshops as a wonderful opportunity to share my experience and expertise. I have an extensive background in creative pursuits including many exhibitions.

I have run many art programmes, curated and judged shows and I simply enjoy helping others to develop their skills. My knowledge of the artworld, the historical significance of styles and techniques and a strong background in painting with a variety of media, guides my perception to gauge the stage you may be at.

I can help you to see the direction most suitable for your advancement. Contact Anna niblic@niblic.com for more information.
