About
Artist. Educator. Cycling Sketcher.
My work spans watercolour, oils, acrylics, and mixed media — made in and around Cornwall, where the light changes fast and the landscape keeps surprising you.
The maker
Hello, I'm Damian.
I teach at Cornish Craft Barn, near Truro. Workshops that fill up fast because they're hands-on, relaxed, and genuinely fun. More than 1,000 students through my workshops and counting.
I write about the creative life — the messy, honest, occasionally brilliant process of making art your actual job. If you're making a bigger shift — leaving a career to go full-time creative — that's what Creative Path 52 is for.
Over the past several years I've taught watercolour, acrylics, and oil painting to more than 1,000 students at the Cornish Craft Barn. Weekly sessions, weekend workshops, regularly sold out. Based near St Agnes, Cornwall.
