Alice paints fresh and loose in an impressionistic style with spontaneity and expressive brush strokes. She takes on new challenges by exploring different subject matters and continues to push the boundaries of this medium. 

Many who came to Alice’s workshops would notice her passion in teaching watercolour.  Currently, she is teaching workshops to all levels of artists in the District of Kent, the Hope District and in her home studio. She focuses on the artistic development of the participants and strives to help them paint effectively. She will simplify the painting process into 3 to 4 steps using different watercolour techniques to complete a compelling painting.  Her workshops are described as inspirational, interactive and enjoyable.  And many participants take home a fun and exciting experience beyond the workshops!
