The My Favourite Paintings series of Virtual Gallery Talks are designed to take you on a voyage of thought-provoking discovery and varied visual inspiration. Each video is based on one work of art and provides a richer understanding of art and artists.

I share insights and discuss aspects such as the subject matter, historical and social context of the artwork, the life of the artist and their techniques and materials.

The fee for each Gallery Talks Video is £10, sent to you via Dropbox.
