I feel very honoured to have receive such a lovely testimonial this week by the lovely Heidi who visited me in my Studio here in Dorset all the way from Switzerland, here are just a few of the lines from the testimonial she kindly sent to me.

' When I arrived at your studio, you have me a warmly welcome.  All materials for the workshop was ready, so we could start immediately, you have such a great knowledge with wax and different materials, so I could ask a lot how to use these.

For my first steps with encaustic, I am very lucky that you, a great artist accompanied me.

Thanks a lot dear Dawn spending the time with me.  Best Wishes, Heidi, Switzerland.

If you would like to book  a one on one workshop or why not bring a friend and join me for a group workshop.   Now that Spring has almost arrived Lyme Regis is a very beautiful place to visit and be inspired, it would be lovely to hear from you and a great opportunity to not only learn to paint with wax but to walk along the Jurassic coastline and find time to relax with a glass of wine or a cup of tea or even walk your dogs as the beaches here are dog friendly!.

 My workshops are also suitable for complete beginners - I can offer assistance based around your requirements so if you are a practicising artist or a photography or a complete beginner please join me in my lovely Studio by the sea!.  I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Just a reminder for those who have been sending emails and asking if I will be exhibiting during Dorset Arts week...and why I wasnt in the brochure!. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I had to cancel.  A hard decision to make, however there is always another year!....which means I have more paintings to create and finish!

I am really looking forward to visiting other artists during Dorset Arts Week this year and hoping to catch up with friends who will be exhibiting their wonderful art work.

Paintings are available and for sale directly from my Studio and also from other outlets which I will list under a separate blog, if you would like to purchase one of my paintings or commission I would be very happy to hear from you, please drop me a line at [email protected] or call 07714196584 to arrange a visit.
