I’m thrilled to be taking part in Birmingham’s Open this year with the theme of Light! My acrylic painting on linen named Pear will be on public display from May to June in Victoria Square, Birmingham, UK.
Pear was created a couple of years ago as I love mixing and contrasting colours; playing with effects created by laying different shades together.
I have a studio in my house this time, whereas in my previous house it was adjacent. I find I run upstairs with ideas and “I’ll just do…” far more often now. Some artists find it beneficial to leave their home and paint elsewhere, here I can loose myself for hours at some point each day. When I have a solo show to work for it’s 9-5!
Come and visit Birmingham Open from 20 May to end June 2025!
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!
