Halina Paterson has been creative all her life and has been teaching all her working life.

After taking up visual arts seriously 13 years ago, she has won several awards across various media.

She now has regular classes and individual students, as well as running workshops in watercolour, charcoal and graphite, book binding and mindful line art and life drawing.

She is equally at home with the minute detail of laborious line art as she is with a quick sketch in any medium.

Asked which is her favourite medium.... her response is.... 'whatever I am doing in the moment.'
