Art is what I live for

Watercolour and story by Christine Shirley

Celtic Queen, watercolour by Christine Shirley

Art is what I live for, I have run many workshops in sculpture, drawing and oil painting for adults, decoration and mixed media for children. I worked many years with people who have severe mental and physical health as well as in Schools, I never stopped working until recently!

Now older, I wish to improve my watercolour skills. I always loved watercolour but never found a good teacher and the materials were always too expensive for me in the past. I just used it as pen and wash drawings.

Life has taught me the healing power of Art and developing skills. It's what I live for now that my parents have died, who needed a lot of care from myself, when old.

I would love to have more self-expression with water colour and to help my own students more. I love the glowing colours they uplift the viewer, and I long to bring more colour and light into the world.
