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 regualrly for Boughton 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 will be surprised at the results you can achieve. Why not come along to one of my workshops to find out more?
