James Lark

I'm James Lark, Founder and Creative Director of OhMyArt, based in Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire.

I'm a professional fine artist and educator with over 20 years' experience teaching art and creativity to students aged 11–19 across Hertfordshire and Essex. Alongside my artistic practice, I've held leadership roles in education and serve as a governor at a local primary school.

I'm also the founder of Herts Art Teachers, a professional network for art educators. My experience across art, education and creative leadership has given me a deep understanding of how creativity can inspire confidence, support wellbeing and unlock potential in individuals, schools, communities and businesses.

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.

I also have a passion for developing the potential within the youth generation and offer life coaching and personal development programmes to support the next generation.
