Fiona Bell Currie

After training at Goldsmiths' I worked as an illustrator and teacher for forty odd years in London, only relocating to paint full time in Chichester in 2019. A small scale is still more comfortable, where detail, texture and pattern prove most enticing. Through teaching a group of adults every Thursday morning in Lavant I constantly renew my own passions for landscapes and skies and more thoroughly explore colour choices and tonal values, and happily switch from acrylic to gouache to pastel to oil - whatever feels most useful for that particular subject. I'll be running eight short courses over the summer and I hugely enjoy teaching, learning from my students, watching their progress emerge.
