Maker
I am lucky to be living my dream, working in beautiful surroundings creating art. Being an artist can be quite isolating so I love to open my studio for workshops as it means I get to paint things that I wouldn't get chance to in my normal working day. I love to show people how to get the most out of a medium and see the excitement when a picture takes form. I am so happy to announce my new improved studio is now open to the public and I now stock quality art supplies at great prices.
