One of the greatest joys of my life has been helping others discover their own creativity.

Over many years in England, I taught in colleges, private studios, galleries, shops, and community groups, working with women from many different backgrounds and stages of life.

I firmly believe that everyone has a little creative spark inside waiting to be released.

So often, particularly for women, creativity is put aside while we devote ourselves to raising families, building careers, supporting others, and managing the countless responsibilities of everyday life. Many women reach a point in their lives where they long to reconnect with that part of themselves.

My workshops are not about producing perfect artwork or learning complicated techniques. They are about rediscovering the pleasure of making something simply for the joy of it.

Using gentle, accessible arts and crafts activities, I create a relaxed and supportive environment where everyone can succeed, regardless of previous experience or artistic ability.

Over the years, I have watched countless people arrive feeling uncertain or lacking confidence—sometimes persuaded to attend by a friend—only to leave with a renewed sense of achievement, pride, and self-belief.

Creativity has an extraordinary ability to nourish and transform us, and I would love to share that experience with others here in the Algarve.

I am currently exploring opportunities to offer small, friendly workshops in local galleries and community spaces in the Eastern Algarve.

If you are interested in future workshops, or if you represent a gallery, hotel ,community venue, or group that would like to discss hosting a workshop, I would be delighted to hear from you via the Contact page
