Teaching History
I began The Art Tree Studio Club in 2009. It grew from the belief that every individual has a unique capacity for creative development whatever their age or ability. Adopting the image of a tree as its logo the 'art tree' as a concept represents the intuitive and organic development of the artist and their art.' I continue to teach students from my studio on this basis.
