Having taught for many years, I have witnessed the therapeutic side to my work for my students. Creativity is so calming, soothing and positive. It allows you to live in the moment, and detach from, loss, grief, stress, pain and anxiety. Creating art in a group context is fun, sociable, we eat too many chocolate biscuits, someone will always wash their brush in their freshly made cup of tea, stories and experiences are shared, and perhaps a new fulfilling hobby ensues.

I enjoy teaching students to colour mix, identify light and shade, to draw and
how to observe to improve their
​painting techniques

Art materials are being delivered
to the studio and I am looking
forward to developing some
new arts and crafts for this
Spring/Easter. Happy with this
first idea, yarn wrapped twigs
from the garden and hand
marbled eggs, to add to a little
Spring wood slice. I am always
amazed by the fabulous ideas
children come up with in my
classes, I like to encourage them
to let their imaginations soar!!!!!!

Published December 2020 

When my son went to Australia in 2019, I decided to send him a weekly update about his cat Enzo. When Hugo arrived back in the UK he had kept all the letters. The nationwide lockdown due to the COVID 19 virus began in March 2020. All my teaching was on hold so I decided to write and illustrate series 2 of the Enzo Updates.
​I began to post an Enzo Update a day on social media. I was surprised at the response, enthusiasm and interest. Readers frequently commented that is cheered them up in gloomy times and they always looked forward to the next post. The illustrative style settles in, the narrative  changes and there are spelling mistakes and other errors, but I decided to leave them in and stick to the original artwork.

Brackenfield School 'Pots of Love' Painting Exhibition 2018

This year was the first of many Brackenfield School Painting Exhibitions. Over 2 days I helped 166 children to paint a mixed media collage. These where then framed and we hung them for an exhibition called 'Pots of Love' that family and friend could attend and buy the works of art.
​
We raised £1,300 for Dom's Charity. Looking forward to next years exhibition. The Children's artwork was amazing and all the 
Brackenfield staff were amazingly helpful and good fun was had by all! The Competition was kindly Judged by Andrew Stewart, owner of 108 Fine Art  Cold Bath Road  Harrogate.

108 Fine Art very generously produced a beautiful flag depicting one of the
winners paintings! Looks stunning as you drive down the road.

Testimonial

 I enrolled on my first workshop back in 2015. I'd initially hoped to rebuild my confidence, but I left with vastly more. I found her engaging, encouraging and inspirational.  I can't recommend her workshops highly enough.
