Creativity enriches your life and helps you thrive.

Through personal experience of grief and loss, journaling became my daily therapy giving me solace, purpose and direction.

 

This was confirmed during my artshealth research where I witnessed amazing discoveries of the wellbeing effects that art making has on the human brain - especially for people living with dementia.

My art portfolio blends illustrative skill with intuitive expression, shaped by years of client-based commissions and a recent journey into personal creativity. 

Creativity is

a basic human

need.

Based in the beautiful Northern Rivers and Bundjalung Country, NSW, the workshops provide a safe, nurturing and peaceful space to allow for personal growth. 

 

My teaching emphasises building confidence through skill development and gentle guidance, focusing on the basic fundamentals of art. The workshops go beyond teaching art techniques—they foster a deeper connection to yourself and the community. They encourage self-compassion by embracing the uniqueness of each person’s mark-making. By simply being your authentic self, you can tap into creativity as a healing and transformative practice.

 

The workshop sessions are designed to ignite the creative spark and you will leave feeling inspired, uplifted, and connected.
