I am an artist whose practice focuses on oil painting and printmaking. In my work I depict mostly interior spaces, people and landscapes that emerge from memory. My workshops center around individually tailored painting and drawing exercises. I can tailor my workshops depending on the ages and skills of people attending.

Having painted portraits and landscapes for many years I have a strong formal understanding of oil paint and its ability to be used in a variety of ways. Within my workshops I want to demystify the medium and make it more accessible to young people. Painting is such a versatile and energetic medium and I hope to give young people the tools to use it for their own artistic visions. By talking them through my own artistic practice and some of the habits I have developed in my studio they can see some of the skills needed to be an artist.
