"It was in 1992 when I met Noelle, my tutor for the Open College of the Arts.  I was impressed with Noelle's teaching and approach to art, and stayed with her class for six years. I was also attending many painting evening classes and met various tutors along the way.  However, I always thought Noelle was by far the better tutor.
So much so that, when I heard she was running a course for her old OCA students I jumped at the opportunity to work with her again, and this time as a professional painter myself."  G E Hughes

"I had this great opportunity to study fine art at Bangor University on a part time degree course, which is where I met Noelle. She helped me connect to a deep process within myself, that allowed me to discover my own painting style and use my imagination to take me beyond decorative and representational work.  This has been a precious gift."  Gabrielle Pinto

"As a tutor Noelle has a fine eye for picking up on parts of paintings that are not working, and her constructive criticism is invaluable. She urges me to explore new ways of working, and her tutorials while valuable for their lively discussions, criticism and practical work, are always full of fun!" Judith Jolley

"I have known Noelle for many years, she is an extremely conscientious and understanding tutor who is able to extract the best from her students. During my degree Noelle opened up an avenue of image-making through her work with artist's books. I have started to produce some books, hopefully with Noelle's enthusiasm and dedication. After University Noelle remains a true support and inspiration." Dave Byrne

" I have attended Noelle's tutorials for many years. Noelle constantly encourages me, and others in the group, to explore new ways of resolving the problems that any artist encounters in the creative process. The objective group and individual critiques are most valuable in assisting the growth of ones artistic development, and I would recommend Noelle's tutorials to anyone seriously interested in expanding the limits of their work".
