It was a delight to get creative and gain the confidence to create a piece that was inspired by the still life in front of me, but also Lizzie’s introduction to different artists and their own particular styles. Thank you Lizzie, would love to come again!

“I love encouraging people in their creativity and I believe that everyone, given the space and encouragement, can produce a personal and integral piece of artwork they can be proud of. 

The foundational technical skills applied to drawing and painting are vital and each class I teach focuses on developing these but I also believe in generating freedom rather than perfection. 

My studios are surrounded by nature and create a calming and safe environment where people are inspired to ‘have a go". I love seeing my students discover new depths of creativity and the moment of surprise and pleasure when they start believing that they can do it” ’"
