I joined Lee’s art class at Kilburn Studios in mid -2022 and was a student of hers for over two years. At that time, I was returning to painting after many years, prompted by a sudden health issue. Lee taught me how to use oil paints from scratch, how to find and use colour, how to cover a canvas in paint and how to question the artistic choices I made. With Lee, I explored large and small compositions from both photographs and still life, and both my painting and my drawing skills improved significantly.

Lee is a wonderful teacher, full of insight and encouragement. Our classes were stimulating, fun and memorable. During that time, I produced many paintings and drawings which developed my existing skills and stretched them into new territory, and I have yet to study with another teacher who brings so much energy, warmth and knowledge to the discipline of teaching art.

I highly recommend Lee as a teacher of art to students of any age, and I very much look forward to the opportunity to study with her again.
