Instructor
"Inspiring Creativity in Art"
I regularly work with people who struggle to get really creative with their painting. My lessons and workshops are fun, inspiring and informative and I enjoy teaching others about the techniques I use in my own artworks. I specialise in creating texture in acrylics and watercolour paintings using different techniques.
I am a British artist living and working in the beautiful county of Suffolk, UK.
My artworks include acrylic, watercolour and mixed media, on canvas, wood and paper, available in contemporary galleries in UK.
