It should feel like a deep breath, a walk in the woods, a good laugh over tea.

That’s what my workshops are for.

I create gentle, joyful spaces to explore drawing and painting — whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to your creativity after years away. There are no “right” outcomes here, just the pleasure of looking, feeling, making, and connecting. You can’t get it wrong.

My approach blends fine art skills, mindfulness, and a big dose of kindness. We draw with our non-dominant hand. We scribble in sketchbooks. We notice the shape of shadows and the smell of charcoal. It’s less about being an artist, and more about being yourself.

I run workshops in my Sussex studio, in nature, and sometimes in collaboration with wonderful groups like Art & Soul. Some are quiet and reflective, others full of shared laughter — but they’re all relaxed, welcoming, and real.
