✨Further detail ✨
With over 25 years of teaching experience, including lecturing at degree level, I'm excited to help you discover and nurture your unique creative voice. Our greatest asset as artists is our individuality, and it's this very uniqueness I want to help you locate. Through monthly tutorials, inspiring ideas, and motivational prompts, I want to guide you in building a creative practice that excites you and brings you joy.
Each month's theme serves as a starting point, a framework for exploration. I’ll encourage you to expand on these ideas, repeating exercises and uncovering themes that resonate with your own interests. The goal is to deepen your creative practice in a way that feels personal and inspiring. While my themes often reflect the flora and fauna around me, you are free to choose a theme that aligns more closely with your own environment. It could be a vase of flowers, your pet, your own image, or even the objects around your home or workplace. This is a process of ongoing discovery and reflection that will evolve over time.
Research plays an integral role in my own practice, allowing me to explore and understand my subjects on a deeper level. I’ll share my research with you, and encourage you to embark on your own explorations as you dive into your interests throughout the months.
I hope you’ll start keeping a journal, scrapbook, or digital file to collect stories, poetry, images, and insights that resonate with you. This will I hope become a cherished resource and a visual record of your creative journey. Even if it's just a few lines each day, jotting down your thoughts will help you connect with your process and track your growth.
Your journal should reflect your interests, passions, and core values, whether they’re social, environmental, emotional, political or influenced by your life's path, background and upbringing. It can include images, drawings, writings, or other materials to create mood boards that capture your evolving creative identity. Ultimately, this practice will help you define your unique creative self, shaped by your reflections, research, and the influences that resonate with you.
This subscription is not just about learning a technique, it's about finding what speaks to you and following that path with curiosity, dedication, and joy.
I expect the membership will evolve over time as members begin to feedback on what they enjoy the most and I look forward to embarking on this creative journey with you!
