All levels of creative experience are welcome. Whether you are a practicing artist seeking fresh inspiration or are curious to tap into the abundance of creativity that resides within you.

I am a watercolour artist, inspired by the natural world. I adore wildflowers, they represent the yin and yang of being wild and free, strong yet delicate. In 2023 I had the incredible experience of an Artist residency at Plantlife International, an Environmental Conservation Organisation.

This workshop shares my travels across the UK visiting some of Plantlife’s nature reserves and partner sites, immersing myself in my art in the flora in these beautiful locations.

In this workshop we will explore:

• A variety of wildflowers

• Watercolours and alternative art tools

• Breathing meditations to connect you to your creativity and quieten your 'inner critic'

• Trusting your artists intuition

This workshop is for you if you:

• Would like to develop how to use watercolours

• Want to create time to nourish your wellbeing

• Would like to let go of thoughts of self judgement
