PAINTING WITH PRESENCE

I make portraits of people with stories and paintings of skies that speak. My eyes search and my brush responds as I continue to redefine my creative practice. My work is rooted in a tradition of expressive Plein air landscapes and observational portraits.
I share my ideas and knowledge through online courses and individual tutoring. If you wish to learn more or you are interested in tutoring or coaching please get in touch.

Recorded Workshops for Sale

In my series of live online workshops, I distill and share a lifetime passion for drawing the human form. Each of these recordings is a complete drawing lesson, focused on a specific topic such as hands or facial features. I teach you to analyze and express these elements of the body with carefully sequenced exercises. Follow my lead to level up your drawing.

Drawing With Intuition Workshop


Explore a gentle introduction to mindful drawing, with fun and easy exercises that illuminate the world around you, through the senses of sight and touch.

We draw together with guided prompts to encourage flow, breathing, and being present. Drawing with pencil, marker and twigs dipped in ink, create a series of drawings based on everyday objects, images and their imagination.

Some will give rise to beautiful lines, while others will result in lively and surprising marks and strokes. I lead the way with a series of top-down camera drawing demonstrations

No experience with drawing is necessary to participate. This is an opportunity to engage with what it means (and what it feels like) to draw mindfully with your senses.
