"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearence of things, but the inward significance."

Creating is a compulsion; it’s in my very essence. As a young child I would practice my drawing skills using my mum’s ruby red lipstick on the magnolia walls of our council home. I never really planed to become an artist if anything I was strongly guided away from such ideas for my own safety, however the fates were not so easy to per-sway and so, after a sequence of unforeseen events I found my path to an alternative world where rules were broken and boundaries pushed.
Over the recent years my work has become focused upon the mystery and illusion of reality, the laws that underpin our understanding of space and time and the forces which interfere in our daily lives. Within my paintings I like to explore the effect of colour and how it illuminates hope and inspiration from the darkness that sometimes surround us.

Testimonials from Art basic course at Campus West, Welwyn Garden City.
"This is a fabulous course", young mum Sue Conway says. "Kim has freed us all from anxiety that we might not be good enough to do this and engages everyone intelligently about the origins of art. It's safe enough for beginners yet challenging at the same time.
"This course really broadens your outlook", said course member Gillian Bonfield. "It has made us all a lot more open-minded about art and everyone tries to come each week because we always learn so much".
The classes takes place every Tuesday from 10am-12pm for intermediates and 2-4pm for beginners (except during school holidays). The course runs three times a year, January - March, April - July and October - December.
