Babette van Gerwen (29-03-1996) based in London and the Netherlands

​

I am an artist with a background in geography, exploring the interaction between nature and human sensitivity. Using painting, drawing and poetry, I look at how the natural environment plays with our everyday felt experience and, conversely, how we can find our feelings reflected back to us in our surroundings.

Teaching

​

Teaching and facilitating accessible and community-oriented art workshops is an important part of my practice. I believe art should be for everyone and that it can be a highly effective tool to help connect people to themselves, the environment and their communities. My teaching focuses on helping people of all abilities and backgrounds find confidence and enjoyment in a creative practice. I provide a safe and playful environment for people with any artistic ability to make art. Examples of classes I've taught include:

Sound Sketching (an intuitive, abstract drawing class), Surrealist Collage Classes, Watercolour Workshops for children and families, Arts and Crafts for the elderly.
