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!

Spring Could Finally Be Here – time to draw outside!
With the sun suddenly shining today it was a real opportunity to get out and about! In the centre of Birmingham today everywhere seemed to have young birds perched in unusual places, the House of Fraser window blinds outside seemed a favourite for the young Starlings!
This is a wake up call for me to get cracking and organise weekend dates for our On-location drawing and painting stand alone workshops! Keep a look out for the dates on the website 😀
