About me

Location	Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Introduction	I have had no formal training in Art, but have taught Art in schools for most of my life. Once I quit teaching, about seven years ago, I took up painting in a more or less full time capacity. I have been fortunate to be tutored by Paul Birchall, Ryno Swart, Natalie Hirschman and Marcie Lyons. In 2008 my sister and I spent two glorious months painting in France under various tutors. This year I started giving classes to adults who are beginning to paint in oils. I have found the experience very rewarding and a great deal of fun. I hope to continue to give classes next year, in 2011. We are very lucky to have the use of the Scout Hall in Newlands for our classes.
