About

Art for the modern home or workplace. Designer style without the scary investment! Feel good paintings with lots of colour. I enjoy painting many different styles, from beaches to quirky and fun animals. Modern florals and abstract designs make up a large part of my portfolio also. I am inspired by the coastal area in my home town and often get ideas for art while walking along the beach. Additionally, I have a series of fine art Australian animals including a kookaburra and black cockatoo which I have had professionally photographed and printed which are very popular.
Typically, my paintings are contemporary and vibrant. I create art for a happy vibe in your space, or calming beaches to bring a feeling of relaxation to the room. Art to lift the mood or alleviate anxiety is my passion.

Painting was always an interest of mine, but around 2007 I decided to make it my full time business. I have attended many workshops and courses over the years - including, but not limited to watercolour techniques, drawing instruction, portrait drawing and fine at with acrylics. I am, however, largely self taught. I now run art for anxiety groups, have worked with high school girls on the spectrum and with anxiety and PTSD. In the past few years I have added paint and sip events to my business which I love as they are always so upbeat. My vision for the future is to keep doing all of this and also add in some kids weekly workshops.

  • 2023 – Private paint and sip events for special occasions are in demand.
  • 2022 – Working with teenage girls at a high school who have anxiety, with ASD and low self esteem. Watching the changes in these girls as the weeks went by has been the most rewarding part of my art career to date.
  • 2018 – My workshops and group lessons become very popular.
  • 2012 – I am commissioned to provide 60 plus paintings for a hotel in Hervey Bay as they renovate their rooms.
  • 2010 – I join a new gallery and am thrilled to make sales immediately and continually.
