 Due to the success of this years holiday in Cornwall I will be running more in 2009. I will be there for two weeks 1st - 8th August and 8th to 15th August. Places are limited so book early! Our accommodation will be at the same large house in Penzance called Carn Brea. There is plenty of room inside for painting and wonderful views from the Captain's turret, so even if we do get the odd rainy day my guests can still enjoy painting lessons inside.

ARTIST'S RESIDENCY AT AMELIA TRUST FARM - MURAL PROJECT

In 2007, as well as my usual classes, I also completed an Artists Residency working with youngsters at The Amelia Methodist Trust Farm. We created a new mural for the Cafe. The farm is run by the Methodist Trust and the Reverend John Stacey Marks to help disadvantaged and dissaffected children from the local area. This was a very exciting and challenging project for me and I was thrilled to be given the opportunity by Suzanne Greenslade from The Washington Gallery in Penarth. The project is sponsored by Penarth Arts & Crafts Ltd, Oriel Washington, Help A South Wales Child and Children In Need. You can see the Mural in the Visitor Centre Cafe at Amelia Trust Farm.
