My Past Works
Autumn 2019
In September, I spent a week at St Ives School of Painting improving my portraiture with Ashley Holt and learning outdoor sketching and dynamic seascapes from Gary Long. It was great to spend a dedicated week in such an iconic location in the company of other budding artists.

Lockdown 2020-21
​
During Lockdown confinement, we all discovered the wonder of Zoom and the joy of watching artists at work in the form of on-line workshops. I tried out a series of Catherine Beale's lush runny, watercolour sessions and also some of Jake Winkle's characterful creatures and watery landscapes and enjoyed them all.

March 2022 to date
In 2022, I attended a 3-day workshop with landscape artist Chris Forsey, held in Sidmouth at the lovely East Dorset Art academy.
​
Chris taught me to use acrylic inks and oil pastels to add some zing to bring a glow to misty water colours - a delightful discovery that I was only too eager to try.
​
The I was introduced to the flat brush acrylic style of Hashim Akib and I was hooked on abstract landscpes.
