‘I had a lovely weekend working in the beautiful landscape of Longtown in the Herefordshire hills. Helen kindly guided us through exercises in colour, composition and expressive mark making. Helen is very knowledgeable and inspiring. It was great fun and wish I could do it all again.’ Mary
‘I wanted to say how much I enjoyed your course at the end of June. You were very generous with your time and materials and the lunches were delicious, served in such a lovely setting.’ Julia
Mum and daughter, Julia and Mary Kilvert, joined me for the Abstracting the welsh borders landscape painting weekend – in June 2025 – such a pleasure to see them explore their creativity together

This video features learners in Arts Council funded workshops held at the Sidney Nolan Trust in Presteigne, near Hay on Wye. I also teach printmaking to beginners at the Ewyas Harold Craft Centre where I volunteer on the management committee.
