A BIT ABOUT ME

I love to learn, but I also get bored easily. However, since I discovered painting, I haven’t been bored at all. There are so many ways to create art, and I spent a lot of time trying most of them before I settled on oil painting as my go-to medium for creating. 

I first picked up a brush after I relocated with my family to the USA from Australia and was looking for a way to meet new people. I was fortunate to join a thriving art community in Denver and learn from some of the best teachers in the US. I have been (almost) painting daily ever since. 

Since returning to my home in Australia, I have been inspired by our native flowers, rural landscapes, fauna and gorgeous sun-kissed beaches. My love of painting flowers came from viewing our native (and spectacular) flora with new “artistic” eyes and wanting to render them in my own contemporary style.

My second favourite thing to do (after painting) is to share the joy I get from painting by passing on my knowledge through teaching art classes and workshops. I am constantly inspired by my students, and I love to see their confidence and passion grow when I help them realise what they can achieve. 

Most days, you will find me at my home studio frantically painting before the kids get home from school and ignoring the housework with a golden retriever by my side.
