I’m Claire! I am a local portrait artist, mum of two (well three if you count the dog) and a Jog Scotland Leader for the local running group, Jog Dalgety Bay. I have an MA (Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh, which combines a History of Art Degree with the practice of Drawing and Painting at the Edinburgh College of Art. As well as being a Signature Member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society, I’m an award winning and internationally published artist, and have had work selected for several high-profile exhibitions. If you would like to learn more about my credentials, please visit my website www.portraitsbyclaireneedham.com.
I am delighted to be joining the Krafty Kidz team and bringing my knowledge and skillset to introduce a new type of class focussing on the fundamental elements and techniques of drawing. In this relaxed environment everyone will be able to express themselves through art, improve their skill level and learn to see the world as an artist.
