Coming up Summer 2025
Over the summer I will be running three intensive days of art tuition working outside. Each course will involve pushing creative boundaries, exploring materials, gaining confidence in expressive drawing and painting, learning to create strong compositions and to see and feel what we are drawing. It’s a time to practise and share some of my ways of working through demonstrations.
Places are limited to 5 people on each day and all materials will be provided.

Private tuition
Individual and group tuition can be tailored to your needs, from a one-off ‘taster’ lesson to more intensive tuition to help develop your creative voice. I am always happy to meet in person to discuss first.
Tuition is undertaken from my studio in Littlemore in Oxford, or at your home, depending on your preference.
Outdoor tuition is mainly undertaken in Oxford in the College environments.
Other environments regularly used for observational work are the Ashmolean and Natural History Museum.
Prices start at £50 for a 1 hour lesson.
