SOMETHING NEW FOR 2027

£0.00

Exciting tuition news for 2027!

I’ve been busy thinking about some new ways of sharing my painting experience and knowledge and I’m currently working on plans for...

one-to-one private tuition

Applicable to beginners and to someone wanting to make a significant step forward in their painting.

artist mentoring

Drawing on my experience as a professional, exhibiting artist and elected member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, individual mentoring sessions designed to help you understand what it takes to develop your work and build a sustainable art business.

I’m also putting together a brand-new programme of

one-day workshops

These will be a little more limited than in previous years, roughly one workshop per month with just six places on each course, giving everyone plenty of space, time and individual attention.

And there’s more…

I’m also looking at introducing some artist retreats here at my Shropshire studio! I have two very different ideas in mind:

Seeing the Landscape – A five-day retreat exploring how we take inspiration from the landscape around us incorporation plein air and studio work.

Beyond the Landscape – A four-day abstract painting retreat, exploring how we can move away from traditional landscape painting and discover the exciting possibilities of abstraction.

Both are still very much in the planning stages, but I’m really excited about where these ideas might lead.

If any of this sounds interesting, whether it’s private tuition, mentoring, workshops or one of the retreats, please do drop me an email. I’d love to hear from you and gauge interest as I start putting everything together. Please message me to be the first to find out the latest news.
