​Ann Mackowski                              
​Founder/Tutor
​Ann Mackowski is an internationally exhibited artist and teacher. After working for years in the art world, she became concerned with its insularity. Speaking to non-artists, she also realised how common it was for poor early educational experiences to put off creative adults from making art later in life. To address this problem, she founded Soho Life Drawing in 2016 to provide an affordable and accessible drop-in creative outlet in central London for artists and non-arts based professionals alike. ​ 

In addition to life drawing and illustration, Ann is an experienced landscape artist and tutor and was featured on Sky’s Landscape Artist of the Year. She provides private and group instruction.
