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, my friends, is where you find complete joy in art. There’s no pressure you see, no expectation, no planning, no instruction or blessed rules, just the freedom of turning up and seeing what might just happen if...
These last three years since we moved to Bewdley have been incredible. My studios have been full, and I've loved every moment during the workshops; we've laughed, cried, drunk an awful lot of prosecco, gin, and tea, eaten far too much cake, and of course completely overshared all whilst creating hundreds of fabulous pieces of art! That's bloody perfect if you ask me!
My last workshop of the summer is done, so just 3 more in the autumn, and that's it for a while. Life's asking a lot of me right now, including becoming a grandparent, so I'm immersing myself in my paints for a bit, doing what I always tell others... just bloody paint. I need to make my own art; I need that expression and that self-care.
So 2027 will be quieter with fewer workshops, but probably longer and better ones. I'm thinking one in spring, one in summer, one in autumn- who knows, maybe even run my own retreat, locally here in Bewdley, Worcestershire; it's beautiful, you should come!
So I'm not going anywhere.
Dates coming soon.
