Art Workshops - A Creative Sanctuary

(With cool snacks)

My workshops are your escape - a dedicated space to quiet the world and find your flow. While the subject matter may change, the heart of every session stays the same:

  • Expertise & Empathy: I share the tips and shortcuts from my 30 years in art and design to help you move past the 'messy middle' and find your unique creative voice.
  • Discovery & Expression: We go beyond copying. I teach the fundamentals so you can explore the gold of how you see the world and what sparks your curiosity.
  • Nurtured & Treated: Creativity thrives when you feel cared for. Expect a warm welcome, endless tea/coffee, and homemade cake to fuel your afternoon of discovery.

The Workshop Experience

  • The Practical Magic

    I’ve spent 30 years in Art & Design and I'll share the shortcuts and tips that make painting a joy. Whether a beginner or returning artist, you’ll gain the solid foundation you need to feel capable.

  • You're Already An Artist

    We use low-pressure exercises to move through creative friction and quiet the inner critic. No passwords or screens—just dedicated time and space for you to rediscover the joy of making marks.

  • A Visual Reminder...

    ...of how great you are. You’ll walk away with a finished piece of art and the confidence to keep going. It’s a permanent reminder that you are far more creative than you believed.

The Secret to Being a 'Good' Artist?

People sometimes ask me how I know if someone will succeed in art. It's not about 'natural talent' and it actually has very little to do with whether they can draw.

It’s about tolerance for discomfort.

We all have a vision in our heads, and it rarely matches what ends up on the canvas at first. The 'gold' happens when you can sit with that gap, stay curious, and keep going anyway. My job is to be your cheerleader through the 'messy middle' until you find your flow.
