Philomena Vaughan
Art Tutor
I have been teaching in Monmouthshire since 1985, at present I am teaching in Chepstow, Caldicot and Usk.
I am a University lecturer and a qualified professional artist and come from a long line of artists. My father and his family were all great painters.
I have a BA and a PGCE qualification and was honoured with a Welsh Adult Tutor Award in 2003 from NIACE.
I teach watercolour, acrylic, pastels and pen and ink – during school terms, beginners and advance levels. I also have one day workshops teaching oil painting and techniques in painting watercolour – at all levels.
As a great believer in recycling I have arranged Upcycling classes.
I enjoy teaching and get great pleasure in seeing my students develop their skills in painting, I put an art exhibition each year at each centre and encourage my students to exhibit their work.
I love experimenting with paint and colour whether it is on paper, canvas or silk.
