Hugh’s biography: Hugh is an inspirational freelance watercolour painting teacher in the Ribble Valley and beyond. He is tutor in residence at Bury Art Gallery & Museum, where his teaching method was filmed by Granada TV. Having taught tens of thousands of adults, children, medical staff and teachers the watercolour techniques he calls ‘art as a recreational therapy’ his work in art education has been described by the Times Educational Supplement as ‘Remarkable’. Hugh has also been interviewed on ‘art therapy mindfulness’ alongside the Princess of Wales in the same edition of Sir James Ratcliffe’s INEOS magazine. Following in the footsteps of his great great grandparents whom in the 1890’s toured the North-West of England with their travelling Music Hall theatre. Today, Hugh does a similar thing, travelling, teaching, entertaining and sharing his creative knowledge to audiences around the country.
Awarded a Distinction in his Art Education degree from the University of Manchester, and ‘Outstanding’ from Ofsted. Fiercely proud of his Mancunian roots having been born a stones throw from the city centre, off Oxford road, near the Whitworth art gallery. He has taught throughout the UK, in the USA, for Cunard aboard the QE2, and in Istanbul for the American educational holiday company ‘Road Scholar’. His classes and demonstrations are not just about painting but also the ‘spiritual philosophy’ of art & life. They are a safe place to calm the many challenges that we all experience in our day to day lives. Invite him as a guest speaker / watercolour demonstrator to your venue.
