Meet The Team
Sonya
Director & Founder
I was successful Assistant headteacher and Leader of a Secondary Art Department. I was also a designated safeguarding Lead. Many of my previous career positions were working with young people with complex needs and experiences. I reached a point where I knew in my position I could not effectively meet the needs of our most vulnerable students, The challenges I faced in this endeavour led me to create Art Inc, where we can support fully our young people that may be struggling. My two biggest loves are art & working with teenagers. Combining the two is proving to make a positive difference in their lives. Art Inc is everything I believe in and I am ecstatic to be delivering it to our young people.
