I attended 'Modern Contemporary Painting' at the University of Bath 'Life Long Learning' accredited modular courses with 30 & 60 credit awards tutored by Andrew Henon during 2004/ 2006. During that time Andrew encouraged me to look at art in new dimension's. The courses helped me to explore different feelings and experiences of life through, Colour, Shape, Form & Texture. I love communicating my feelings and emotions onto canvas. Andrew encourages 'Free Thinking' and develops and supports you throughout the journey. It was a pleasure to learn from Andrew, his intuitive style and skill will stay with me for the rest of my life.
