Painting Tutor TUTOR
The course tutor, Audrey Jerram, is very experienced in teaching painters. She and her husband, Peter, ran a guest house for painters in Hartsop, near Ullswater, and so is well acquainted with the Lake District. They now run a similar establishment in Wiltshire. Audrey paints in predominately in acrylics and water colour, but uses other media from time to time.

Her London exhibitions include one person shows in Foyles Art Gallery, Queensland House Gallery, and the Loggia Gallery. In 1994 she had an exhibition at the Collins Street Gallery in Melbourne, and as a result was commissioned to paint in the Gold Fields of Western Australia in 1997, followed by another exhibition in Melbourne. Her paintings are in private collections in numerous countries.
