Hi, I am James Lark, Founder and Creative Director of OhMyArt!, based in Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire.

I’ve bring over 20 years working as a professional fine artist and teaching art and creativity across mainstream education across Hertfordshire and Essex for students aged 11 to 19. Alongside my practice, I’ve taken on leadership roles in education and I serve as a governor of a local primary school. In addition to this, I am the founder of ‘Herts Art Teachers’, a professional networking group for art educators. This combination of creativity and strategic experience has given me a deep understanding of how art can unlock potential, whether in individuals, schools, or communities or in business organisations.

I’m passionate about the power of creativity to inspire confidence, improve wellbeing, and spark new ways of thinking. Through OhMyArt!, I bring together my love of making art with my experience in education to offer tailored workshops, consultancy, and mentoring that help people connect with their creative side, no matter their background or skill level. When I’m not working with clients, I continue to create and exhibit my own artwork, always exploring fresh ways to push creative boundaries.

Outside of my work with clients, I continue to create and exhibit my own artwork, always exploring new directions and creative challenges.

I am also about to embark on an MA in Art Therapy. Whilst not yet qualified as an Art Therapist, I have sought to integrate creative therapeutic techniques into my practice by completing an introduction into Art Therapy, accredited by the Quality Licence Scheme and Complementary Medical Association.
