The basics
-
I'm a not-for-profit artist and art teacher based in South Norfolk, UK, and founder of Community Art Clubs CIC. I create work from my home studio and teach in different venues across East Anglia.
-
I believe that art is good for you and art is for everyone.
-
My classes and clubs are all in-person, inclusive, warm and encouraging, and welcoming people of all ages and abilities.
-
You will build confidence, banish doubt and transform into the artist you know you can be.
-
You'll develop your skills, find your path and experience all the wellbeing benefits that come from making art with intention and enjoyment.

A little bit of back story: After two decades working in Norfolk Museums’ learning and engagement team, I returned to my first love - making art and supporting others to do the same.
My own journey back to creativity shapes my belief that it is never too late to begin or rediscover an artistic practice.
