Having been both a Graphic Arts Lecturer & Art Teacher, I have over twenty-four years experience in sharing my knowledge with others - specializing in beginners or "those who say they cannot draw" in a group setting. Learning to draw the face or figure or painting the ocean in a three or four hour session is a refreshingly different and relaxing team building idea. Introducing Art therapy techniques has been a big part of my Art teaching. Great for Corporate. Minimum 3 hour sessions. POA.

I started my Art career as a professional Illustrator and Graphic Artist in 1987. I worked with watercolour and gouache, specializing in realistic illustrations for marketing and corporate clients. Tiring of deadlines, I moved into fine art and teaching art - working mainly in acrylic and watercolour. I moved to Queensland's Gold Coast and learnt to surf- where my obsession with water and light began. Becoming a surf artist and integrating the ocean into my art and design was a natural progression. Currently I am illustrating a series of Childrens Books and developing my skills as a Surface Pattern designer.

I love to connect people with visual joy and believe that we should surround ourselves with things that make us smile, lift our hearts and soothe our souls.
My favourite subject is the ocean, followed closely by portraits of pets & people. As long as I'm being creative- I'm happy. More than anything, I hope my love of colour and light shines through in my art.

I spend a lot of time in the ocean- surfing and swimming. I'm usually sitting on my board when inspiration hits.
I want my art to feel vibrant and fresh. I want to bring people's attention to certain shapes and colours that lead them into a feeling or a memory. This world can be a sad and scary place and life can be hard but I want to create something that brings joy to others.
I am fortunate enough to live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth and so I'm surrounded by inspiration to share it.
