Never underestimate the value of having a day out, a day off, a day of adventure as an artist!
You might feel a tiny bit bad for not working but it can bring so much to your artistic practice and it may only be in the later stages of planning that you realise the positive impact the day out has had. Like brushing away unknown cobwebs, breaking out of your daily routine, being allowed out from your studio into a world of beauty! It’s all out there!
Re-exploration of texture and colour, conversations about composition and new ways of seeing. For us in the UK, the changing of seasons, all help our mental colour palette, and mental health. Today is Mental Health Awareness Day and I encourage you to let yourself have free time and let go of feelings of guilt for not working! Wishing you good health and prosperity x

Hi, I’m an art teacher in the community teaching drawing, painting, and crafts in Birmingham, Solihull, and Warwickshire. I create my own paintings, collage, small clay work, felting and mixed media artwork and these are displayed with prints of my artwork at various galleries in Birmingham, Kenilworth, Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick. I have also exhibited in the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, and The Herbert Museum & Art Gallery, Coventry. I graduated with BA(Hons) from the University of Central England (formerly Birmingham Polytechnic) many years ago! I went on to complete PGCE(PCE) and have thoroughly enjoyed teaching art and craft ever since! I teach for several institutions and am also freelance. My private art classes began in Solihull January 2018. Please drop me a line using the Contact page if you would like further information and to make purchases of my art and craft artwork. Thank you for visiting my site and hope to see you soon!
