A painting practice isn’t just about building skills to make good work. Whether we have a studio or work at our kitchen table, art is there to offer us solace, immersion, the challenge of new subjects, new materials. And connection. In making art we instantly connect to the body of art through time and to other living artists.

In my online classes I want to help you both learn to paint and to create your own nurturing painting practice. With a supportive, playful approach I’ll help you wade into art for the first time or return after years of other work which has kept you from painting. Drawing and painting, like any other skills, can be learned and built upon, and each step along the way can be fun and rewarding. Many of my students return year after year and have become accomplished artists in their own rights.

The Covid-19 pandemic had us all reaching for close and absorbing pursuits. It was a reminder of how creative work can sustain us.

In recent years I have expanded my teaching from in person courses to online. Never before has it been so easy to learn from and share with the art community.

In acrylic & mixed media I strive for complex surface and luminous colour. In watercolour, transparency and a balance between release and control.

Your course was absolutely outstanding.  You gave so freely of yourself, you were so organized, there was so much extra helpful material, and the Facebook Group is great.  I loved the videos, and that you recorded the lessons.
