Our Tutors

Shannen always had a passion for art since she could hold a pencil. She took the subject every year in high school, and wanted to become an artist, although, after an intense advanced higher, she eventually figured out that deadlines were not compatible with her passion!

So she decided that she wanted to pursue conservation biology, and is now in her 4th and final year at Edinburgh Napier University. Then a couple of years ago, she worked a season as an educational ranger at a local zoo which made her love teaching!

She kept her creativity alive in her free time over the years, and has realisedthat she can do both - use her art to spread an educational conservation message, as she mainly draws Scottish animals and landscapes. Now as she is coming to the end of her academic career, she thought it was time to start setting herself up for after graduation - and so began tutoring art classes!
