Sky Liston
Born February 1990
A wise soul and beautiful friend.
Her masterpiece she painted at just age 9
She went on to win a prize for this, her first ever major work.
Sky received 3rd place in the Easter Arts Classic, Byron Bay, NSW Australia.
I have learnt as much from her as she has learnt from me.
Sky most certainly has a long and prosperous future ahead, and in my opinion
is a true natural of artistic expression, and a genious. She is a rare
and most talented find. I am honoured to teach Sky. |

Rod McDowell
born around 1960
a computer programmer whom was feeling stifled by
the mundane repetition of work, came to me seeking guidance
to free himself in the arts, to be expressive and released from disciplines.
He too had taken the life drawing anatomy classes, but had discovered
their limitations. His first lesson was to
get the largest brush I had, and just go wild! The result being the background
to "spiral journey". Rod McDowell must be one of the worlds most wonderful people,
is a fine soul, a promising artist, and a true dear friend. He too has made me
a very proud teacher. I enjoyed teaching him very much, and he taught me a lot in return. |

Juliet Willetts

Born March 1972
beloved friend and student, shows much
dedication and patience in her work. She seeks the details within the
whole to find/grasp "life". Her art is truly wonderful and I am very
proud to be her teacher. Juliet has some life drawing/anatomy class
experience and these are her first works in acrylic paint.
She is a beautiful person and a talented artist. |

Teachers note
I have studied life drawing anatomy classes in London, and believe they
are a highly beneficial foundation to ones art career. The disciplines learnt are
invaluable, but the secret is not to get stuck in what was taught, but to go beyond
one's teachings. Enter into the world of expression
utilising disciplines with a free mind and open creativity. Learn the disciplines of
wisdom, and then play as a free child. This is the secret.
