Art is my passion.
Whether it’s creating my own paintings, helping others find their creative talents through my art classes and helping people heal and grow through art therapy.
I have created art for as long as I can remember and come from a family of many artistic people. I studied art - painting & ceramics (my other passion) and majored in ceramic design but continued to paint along the way. I am originally from South Africa and left in 2000 to broaden my horizons overseas. After spending quite a while in the U.K, I moved to Australia in 2005, with my now husband.
More about me.
In the search to do something more creative work after being in an office while overseas, I decided to become a florist(another passion)…I studied and became a qualified florist and spent a few years doing this.
Then kids came along and my creativity got paused… and now I’m back to being creative in any way possible!
After years of dreaming (and plenty of hard work) I’m thrilled to be tutoring a variety of art classes at a local community college. This new creative outlet has been incredibly fulfilling, giving me the chance to share my passion, help others develop their skills, and continue growing as both an artist and a teacher.
What inspires me.
Along with doing school holiday art classes, weekly senior art classes, commissions and doing my own painting, I am also now an art therapy practitioner and loving my time spent doing this each week.
For my paintings I predominantly use oils, but also absolutely love watercolours, and use this medium when I can give it the time it deserves.
My themes vary from landscapes, seascapes and still-life’s, and I love painting flowers! I paint from the heart and won’t paint something unless is feels right and gives me a good feeling.
Let’s connect.
Have a question about my artwork, workshops, or private sessions? Whether you're looking to book a class, discuss a commission, or just want to chat about all things creative, I'd love to hear from you!
