Discover your inner creativity and express yourself in an intuitive, bold, experimental way with a wide variety of mark making and brushwork.

This course will progress from semi representational to complete abstraction, guiding students through progressively more abstract ideas along the way. We will be focusing on mood, imagination, texture (including palette knife painting and printing), acrylic paint properties, composition and more.

We will also be looking at the work of well known and more obscure abstract artists, past and present.

Originally from Cheshire, I attained an art foundation with distinction at Manchester before moving to Brighton where I completed an Honours Degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. I am lucky enough to live by the sea in Newhaven, East Sussex with two adored cats as part of my family but am also based in Altrincham. Cheshire. I can often be found painting plein air in the summer with a borrowed doggy companion. 

My paintings are an exploration of rich colour, mood and light with a special interest in reflections. I enjoy painting any kind of subject matter such as still life, seascape, landscape  although my particular favourite is people and pet portraiture.
