They would like first of all to share their story with you :

So many people ask them "why Chinese painting"? The answer from Priscilla " I first started to learn Chinese Painting when I lived in Manila the capital of the Philippines during the 1970's" " I did not paint in the Chinese style again for many years." Only when I was given one year to live if I was lucky did I return to the Therapeutic Art form of Chinese Brush Painting. That was in the Autumn of 1996.
Priscilla and Robert met in 1984 and got married the following year. Both of them were gravely ill, Robert was battling the effects of Motor Neurone Disease but was always very positive in his attitude. Whilst Priscilla was enduring the gruelling effects of Radiation treatment for a Malignant Blood disorder. She is currently undergoing Chemotherapy treatment but is quick to point out that the peace and tranquillity of Chinese painting has helped her to endure the pain.

The second question people ask is : " why teach others." Their reply : " The improved well - being we experience we wish to share with the wider audience." Priscilla and Robert would like to thank all friends both in the United Kingdom and around the World for their encouragement, and their patience. They thank their Chinese Masters for believing in them and for the support of the professional Bodies.

Over the last five years they have become qualified to teach Chinese Painting both in the Traditional and Contemporary forms. For information on the work of the Bamboo Academy Reg.

May you feel freedom, tranquillity and mostly peace as you enjoy your visit. Thank you, Xie Xie, Xie Xie Ni.
