Who is Matthew Oghene
I have been a professional art model since 2004 . I first started modelling when I finished college . I had just completed a HND in Graphic Design. After completing my 2 year degree , i felt a need to understand my stammer , So I applied to be on the ITV 3min short . This was filmed by the crew n Itv. They came to my parents house, and started filming me sketching!! Being only 19 , I really didn’t underhand to impact, of being on tv .
Fast forward to 2008, I realized that I needed a website to help promote my brand and help me reach more people . I am also a self taught artist also . I express myself through art and the reading of body language between people . . I have been drawing since I was 6 years old. Below are my Tv credits and were I model . I also hosted my first RODIN: Life Class in 2009 with Lorraine Smith

Why do you host Hen-Party classes?
Well I first started partnering with other event companies back in 2008 and I once did 3 bookings back to back. I really enjoyed it. I loved how comfortable the woman were. They had no experience in drawing really , I was able to guide them through the activity, which lasted only 60min. I now love getting that first email or the deposit through PayPal . I always try to make sure the bridesmaids and the girls have a great time . I try to distinguish myself from my competitors , who are strippers and I don’t let woman touch me as I am posing.. On the day I bring materials , drawing pads and a relaxed vibe.
