Artist Name: Sonja Benskin-MesherTuition
I run art workshops for groups or individuals, and am happy to discuss personal requirements.
Master classes for Abstract work, and Art Work Practice are also available.
I hold workshops on my premises, where there is a modern purpose built studio in the grounds, and a smaller intimate loft studio. Computer access is available.
I also travel to the clients location customers to provide training.
‘True Human progress occurs only when every will to progress has vanished and a relaxing waiting and the ability to ‘let be’ has replaced it…….’

Biography
I have worked as a full time artist since 1999, after studying Art & Design for 2 years.
I had previously worked in a law & accounts office, which was rewarding, but not fulfilling. So I moved here to North Wales, to take up the work that I had always wanted to do.
The work is presently abstract, and is constantly changing.
