Who we are and how it started
Express Yourself Studio was founded by Alexa following a successful 10 year career as a qualified teacher in and around Calderdale. Growing up in Halifax as part of a musical family, the arts were a large part of her formative years and helped to shape the person that she is today.
The studio was bought by Visual Art and Drama duo Katy Devereux and Kelly Fleming in October 2023. Both Kelly and Katy believe that the expressive arts are an important and powerful tool in the early development of children, helping the growth of vital communication skills and a child’s ability to truly express themselves.
Kelly is a mum to four children ranging from ages 23 to 6 and is a passionate thespian having a degree in Performing Arts. Kelly loves to get everyone singing and she delivers our Baby Sensory classes and Expressive Story time for Toddlers session. Kelly has heaps of experience in theatre and hospitality.
Katy is our resident artist and has a BA Honours degree in Art and Design from Bradford School of Art.
