WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE,

I am a watercolour painter, based in the village of Warsop in North Nottinghamshire close to Sherwood Forest and the area known as 'The Dukeries'. I have created this site for people to view samples of my paintings and provide contact details together with information on future exhibitions and projects.

I now demonstrate for community groups and art societies so if you would like me to hold a demonstration please get in touch - prices start at £100 plus expenses. I can also host one day workshops at your chosen venue , please contact me for details (without any obligation).

I hold the 'PTLLS ' teaching certificate , NEBOSH H&S certificate and have taught on behalf of the 'Rainbow Learning' group and have hosted workshops on behalf of Broxtowe Borough Council, and tutor regularly for a local art society.

Please browse my website and I welcome any suggestions or comments.(see contacts page for contact details).

Watercolour painting is an absolute joy but many people are put off in the early stages as it can be a tricky medium to work with. Rest assured we have all had many watercolour disasters, but with a little help and encouragement you'll be surprised at the results you can achieve. Why not come along to one of my workshops to find out more?
