Lee Samuel – The Creative Mind Behind Studio Two

Hello, I’m Lee Samuel, an artist, tutor, and community creative who believes art should be for everyone. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a teaching certificate, and a Level 4 qualification in Health & Wellbeing (Disabilities), I bring together strong art skills and a passion for people.

For the past 9 years, I’ve worked with groups and individuals of all ages, offering private lessons from my home studio and creating welcoming spaces where creativity feels fun, safe, and achievable. Alongside this, I’ve built valuable experience working in the disability sector, where I’ve learned the importance of patience, listening, and meeting people where they are.

I’m also the founder of The Canvas Project, a not-for-profit initiative dedicated to making art accessible and supporting the mental health of people with disabilities.

If you’re looking for art lessons, or creative support, I’d love to hear from you.
