Tuition

Explore creativity and improve technique.
First I explore where a person/group is with their art and strengths and weaknesses. I then tailor sessions to re-inforce basic good practice/ technique, and then to explore/experiment.I hold workshops every other Thursday and Friday at Cold Hanworth Forge, can arrange them at a venue of your choice. Tution is at my studio in Lincoln.

 

Biography

When I was 5/6 I used to ask for oil paints for Christmas and would receive paints more, "appropriate for children", which I would shun. A few years on I tried oil painting by numbers but my disappointment with the results led me to believe I couldn't paint and I stopped trying.
It was a few decades later(life begins at forty)that I sought and found drawing & painting lessons. I went to every class I could find and converted my outhouse into a studio. Our county's open studio network has a selection process, my first real test. I was accepted. Next was my first solo exhibition and now I have sold/sell work regularly, run workshops and give tution.
