Artist and Teacher – Watercolour, Acrylic, Drawing and Sketchbook Mastery.

“I have always been fortunate to work in the creative world. I am passionate about art and teaching.”

Watercolour is such a magical medium, by mastering a lightness of touch combined with speed, transparency, and layering you will fall in love with its properties and the wonderful effects you can produce.

Acrylic is my favourite medium to work in particularly for my own practise. It is so versatile when used in conjunction with other media, I can be as inventive and exploratory as I want. It dries fast and suits my painting style.

“Capture your passion and energy “

Good drawing is key to good painting. I can teach anyone to draw, it’s a learned skill. To draw well however you need to put in hours of practise starting with just ten minutes a day.

I love sketchbooks, they offer the opportunity to create a book that is a work of art in itself. Your own sketchbook full of scribbles and loose drawings.

My Story

I am a lifelong creative, from Fashion designer to Artist it’s essential to my being.

A graduate of the Royal College of Art I began by following my dream career as a Fashion Designer, I travelled the world working with major brands. My dream job peaked as head of knitwear at Burberry which lasted almost ten years.

Deciding to leave London we moved to Devon to a beautiful pink cottage called “Brambles.” Tucked away in the sleepy hamlet of Sprytown it couldn’t be more of a contrast.
