More About Me
It’s all about the watercolour.
 
I have 28 years of experience as a full time artist. I work in my studio gallery at Artemis, 3 Lilly Street, Sowerby Bridge, HX6 3DG where you can pop in to see me and browse the shop.
 

There are many ways in which you can get involved. I hold various workshops, which are updated on the Tuition page. It’s always a friendly welcome and intimate atmosphere to enjoy painting. Join my mailing list for priority information.

The SIP & DIP INTO COLOUR events are exclusive to your friends. Come and have a painting party in the studio, £30 per person. PLEASE USE THE CONTACT PAGE TO ENQUIRE AND MAKE A BOOKING.

The current WINTER EXHIBITION in the studio offers a wide range from floral, fauna, local heritage and owls feature in a big way. A wide range of prices, affordable art.

WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU DROP IN TO THE STUDIO…..

This is my space to produce the original artwork as well as providing gallery space for my original work, which can be purchased with a frame of your choice and a personal payment plan can be arranged. Currently this is my second exhibition, a summer exhibition is planned at the end of May.

There are several mounted only original paintings, many prints and cards to browse. The prints and cards can be purchased in the online shop.

You can always sit and chat with me, the kettle has always not long since boiled.

I have a second floor where I hold my art workshop courses and the SIP & DIP INTO COLOUR events. Groups never exceed six people so that you have my full attention and experienced guidance.

The events are planned for Wednesdays, 10 – 12 PM or 7 – 9 PM, but if you group has a specific date in mind I will do my best to accommodate.

During your exclusive painting party I can offer you examples of techniques and colour choices whilst you practice and get a feel for the paint. This is not paint by numbers, play with the flow of watercolour paint. This is organic, unpredictable colour mixing so just let loose and ‘go with the flow’, no artistic skill needed and you can choose a theme if you wish. All the while having a great time with your friends and go home with your mounted artwork too! 

All materials are provided with complimentary drinks and snacks included for a group of 4 to 6 people, £30 each. To make an enquiry for a group booking please use the Contact page.

GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR ANY CHOSEN AMOUNT.

Unfortunately accessibility does include stairs, for which I can only apologise in advance.

SEE THE TUITION PAGE FOR CURRENT AVAILABLE WORKSHOPS.

Tuition Testimonials

“I have always enjoyed your classes very much and find your enthusiasm for teaching us shines out, learning in such a close homely atmosphere is both relaxing and therapeutic. Not to mention how much you have taught me, all of which has helped improve my work. The subject matter has always been varied and at times challenging but you always get us there which I admire you for.'”
