More than half way through my third decade in art education, I have extensive experience in teaching, examining and practicing art. After teaching in the UK for fifteen years, I have been working and living in Italy, Switzerland, and now Norway since 2010. With roles including Head of Department, and Principal Examiner, I am an IB educator and examiner, recently involved in curriculum developmentand workshop design. I have just completed my MA Ed (Artist Teacher Practice), receiving straight distinctions. The transformative course enabled me to develop as an artist, an art educator, and a researcher. My passion for the outdoors and nature fuels my work, and I am proud that I am able to inspire and recruit students to join me in my other passion for endurance training. I aspire to continue sharing my belief in art as a tool for self-discovery and understanding of the unconscious.You can see my artwork here: www.nikkidemarco.com or on my instagram @nikkidemarco.art
