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 a 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...

​

This last couple of years have been incredible. My studios have been full, and I've loved teaching every one of you.

My last workshop of the summer is this Friday, then 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, and I need to get back to my own paints for a bit. Doing what I always tell others... just bloody paint - and look after myself. 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.
