2-Day Abstract Art Workshop @ Brooklands Barn, West Sussex | 7 & 8th November | 10am - 4pm

£500.00

Sold / Unavailable

Held at the stunning and peaceful Brooklands Barn, this is more than just a workshop — it’s a space to breathe, express, and come back to yourself.

This is a rare opportunity to experience my signature process in an intimate, supportive setting.

I'm a British abstract artist known for creating large-scale, visceral works full of movement, emotion, and colour. My work has been exhibited across the UK and Europe — including Harrods, at the Saatchi Gallery and in Hilton Hotels — and is collected by private clients, offices, and designers internationally.

But more than anything, I create to express what can’t always be said. My art is rooted in energy, healing, and the freedom to be yourself — and that's exactly what I offer in these workshops.

This isn’t about getting it ‘right’. It’s about letting go, tuning in, and making marks that come from somewhere real.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or you haven’t painted in years, I’ll guide you to tap into your own creative voice — with no judgement and no pressure.

Reconnect with your inner self through intuitive mark-making, bold expression, and the healing power of abstract art.

No experience needed — just bring your curiosity.

Full-day painting experience in a small group (max 8)
All canvas, paints, and materials
Guided creative mentorship from me throughout
Delicious lunch, coffee, tea, and refreshments
