About Maria
I hold a Diploma in Fine Art, BA in Fashion Design, MA in History of Art, and MA in Textile Design from the University of the Arts London. With extensive experience as a freelancer and a short course tutor at UAL, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to teaching, blending both practical and theoretical aspects of art, fashion, and design. In addition to my academic background, I have also led art therapy sessions for wellbeing, helping individuals use creativity to improve mental health, emotional resilience, and achieve a mindful state through the creative process. My specialisms include History of Art, Fashion & Textile Design, Expert Paper & 3D Modelling, Colour Theory & Psychology, and Sustainable Material Innovation. I am passionate about supporting students in developing technical skills, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving, with a focus on innovative design practices and the use of sustainable materials. My approach integrates mindfulness techniques to foster mental clarity, creativity, and personal growth, encouraging students to explore eco-conscious design solutions while promoting a holistic approach to their artistic and academic development.
