This is me, Sally, happiest in old paint-splattered clothes, with my dogs and a mug of tea in my hand.
I am a painter of things... I paint how I want, when I want, and what I want - and that ...for me... is free expression, and that is where I find complete joy and where I teach others to find the power in art. There’s no pressure then; I have no expectation of what I will create, and I don't sketch or plan beforehand; it's about feeling it, knowing that something will evolve if you allow it, if you allow yourself...
Autumn is upon us, I am relieved the last few months are over, as it's been a bloody challenging time - if you see my posts, you'll know a little of what I mean. I've been using some downtime to disappear into my studio, wallow, and offload a little. I never needed my brushes more, and it's proved very cathartic. No one got hurt; I was full-on ADHD hyperfocused, the house was a tip for a month or so I did precious little around the house... However, I have developed a new body of work in response to vulnerability, in all its guises, and I make no apology for it being both raw and deeply honest.

Autumn 2026 is nearly wrapped up. The 5-Day Immersive and the Long Weekenders are both full, but there are two spaces left on the Go Large 3-Day in October if you fancy joining me.
2027 is going to be quieter, with 1 5-day workshop per season and maybe the odd long weekend; I can't commit to too much at the moment, and I really need to focus on my own painting for a bit. The first date is provisionally in my calendar for January 18th- 22nd. Join the waitlist below, and I'll email you as soon as I open the bookings.
