I am an artist, author, art teacher, professional illustrator and creator of two published books: Soul Color, a ten week course on watercolour painting to cultivate creativity and mindfulness, and Earth Color, an eight week art course for nature connection. Both are published by Liminal 11 in the UK and Sterling/Union Square & Co. in the USA & Canada.

I hold regular courses and workshops in the Bristol and Stroud areas, which encourage expressive, experimental, meditative, imaginative and insightful approaches to making art. They are suitable for experienced artists and complete beginners alike. They tend to be in the mediums of watercolour painting, mixed media, art journaling, or illustrated poetry, comics & graphic narratives. I am a regular tutor at the Royal West Academy, Bristol, and I'm also available for one to one tutoring, and group private workshops.

I have a PGCE in Art from Oxford Brookes University and twenty years experience teaching Art at GCSE, A level and Key Stage Three. For several years I was the Head of Art at Didcot Girls' School, as well as the Fine Art course Leader for A level at Didcot Sixth Forms in Oxfordshire. I offer A level and GCSE tutoring and have an up to date DBS certificate.

I enjoy helping people to develop their drawing and painting skills, and to find their voice. If you're scared to pick up a pencil or paintbrush but have always longed to, my special interest is in helping you to feel the fear and do it anyway!
