“DRAWING,  YOU’LL NEVER GET RID OF IT.  IT’S LIKE DANCING AND SINGING.  THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DANCING AND SINGING,  AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DRAWING. THEY’RE ALL ANCIENT.”  ~  DAVID HOCKNEY

In an age dominated by screens and feeds, where looking has become not only cursory but perpetual, immersive yet distracted drawing is a refuge of contemplation and perception.

Drawing with Mindfulness aims to help you reclaim drawing as a part of your life, to reconnect you with something that is slow, and present, and ancient.

All welcome! Artists, acrobats, accountants: these classes accommodate the full spectrum of experience.

ABOUT ME

Some of the things that have led to my teaching Drawing with Mindfulness: a witchy, inspiring drawing lecturer from my Fine Arts degree; twenty years of working as an artist and finding ways to maintain interest in my studio practice; a deep belief in storytelling expanded by a Literature degree; and an interest in creating spaces for people, both physical and psychological.

This portrait of me emoting during class is by talented artist Julia Sullivan.

“The classes have been really inspiring and I've learnt so much. I can't thank you enough for re-igniting the love of drawing in me.”  Julia

“I haven't touched a brush or a pencil for a year and this has made me want to draw and paint again. Your talks have been so enlightening, inspiring and articulate; to look and listen and to understand exactly what the image was about has been a revelation.”Elaine
