Biography

TESS GERMAIN STROUD Born in Essex, but continually moved around until I came to Scotland 21 in 1988. I have 5 children so didn't have much time for painting when they were young, and though I got A level and did some work through the open college, I am largely self-taught, and am still learning. I love painting in any medium. I also teach a mixed class of beginners and not on Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the James Milne Institute Findhorn...open to everyone, no joining fee, pay when you attend, and as long as there is room, you are welcome.
