My Method

The main principle behind my teaching method is that if you enjoy what you are doing you will want to do more of it and, if you do more of it, (with a little guidance), you will naturally improve. It is as simple as that! In my art classes students are encouraged to explore their creativity while developing painting skills at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual.

​

In the studio environment students work on the style they wish to pursue in the medium they initially prefer. As things progress I will try to gently open them up to new possibilities and techniques. As physical classes resume, I also intend to continue to offer a limited number of zoom art classes and by necessity these adopt a follow along approach where everyone creates their version of the same subject.

For beginners, the art class is an exploration of their individual creative potential as much as it is a technical learning experience. For the more advanced painters who often become ‘stuck’ at a particular level, I can help introduce new skills, challenges, and achievable goals to move them on to the next level.

All of my art classes are run within a fun, yet professional, environment. For those students that wish to be involved, there are regular exhibitions, talks, and events outside of the class setting. Alternatively, the painting class may simply be your opportunity to become absorbed, relax, and lose yourself in your own creativity.

​

There are both daytime and evening art classes at various times during the week and weekend workshops once a month. Kid's and young adult art sessions run in the studio on Saturdays.

Whatever level you are at, I can help. Please check out further testimonials below and contact me if you want to take things further.
