Until 2019, I worked on restoration building projects. I then finally got around to spending my days drawing, and painting, and trying to encourage and help others to do the same.

​

I felt like I needed to make up lost ground: all those years with no painting experience! So I set about looking for ways to make the learning process as economical, efficient, fast and rewarding as possible. This became a project, and then an obsession, which has given me a lot of useful tips, tricks and techniques to pass on.

​

Working with several groups from hugely varied backgrounds over the last few years has also shown me how incredibly nourishing, and restorative, the drawing and painting process can be.

​

Learning a skill, whatever it is, is good for the soul and good for the mind. Learning to draw (and to draw with paint) can improve your experience of life immeasurably. It provides a total, all-absorbing, escape from whatever else occupies your time. It can be a 'meditation'. You also experience the joy and exhilaration of creating something fresh and original.
I highly recommend that you have a go!

If you have any questions please do contact me! I look forward to meeting you!
