Oil on board

My teaching and painting careers have merged since graduating from university in 1990. I was awarded the Alice Bale Scholarship in 1995 followed by 18 months in Europe studying classical portraiture and still life, being greatly influenced by master painters of Britain and Spain.

I love teaching art to students, beginners and advanced, any medium, but the rules of casual observation and order of visual importance dominate my teaching methods. I encourage my students to work from life, exhibit, study the master painters and take themselves seriously.
