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 free expression, and that is where you find complete joy in art. There’s no pressure, you see, no expectation, no planning; it's about feeling it, knowing that something needs to evolve, and seeing what might just happen if...
Anyway, Autumn is nearly upon us, and it's been a bloody challenging year for me so far - if you see my posts, you'll know a little of what I mean. I'm using this downtime before the next run of workshops to disappear into my studio and wallow a little... and it's proving rather cathartic. I'm working on a load of smallish paintings from the pile of well-used demo boards; the developing collection has become mainly about chairs, and is my response to the harder bits of life that are too difficult to articulate. I'm hoping to get that in early September I'll be ready to show you. Please sign up for my email list if you'd like to know more.
Below are a few of the works in progress...
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.
