April 2026 I hosted two intimate painting workshops, each with its own seasonal story.
The second one was inspired by European Easter traditions, light-filled spring mornings, and daffodils as their purest embodiment of renewal.
✨ Easter Light & Daffodils Workshop ✨
A hands-on painting workshop held alongside my solo exhibition at Art Space Gallery.
We’ll work with simple sculptural techniques using impasto medium and acrylic paint, exploring how light gently settles on form — creating luminous highlights, soft shadows, and a subtle relief surface.
This workshop is about slowing down, creating with intention, and building an Easter mood with your own hands.
Calm, welcoming, and designed for all skill levels.

After a long period of planning, preparation and creating new teaching materials, I am delighted to announce that I am finally opening my studio doors to those who would like to learn how to create art with me. Over the years, many people have asked whether I teach. I wanted to wait until I could welcome participants to my newly renovated studio and offer a truly enjoyable creative experience. That time has now arrived. My workshops are designed for adults and young people aged 12 and over, and all skill levels are welcome. You will learn the techniques I use in my own work, including building sculptural surfaces with texture paste, working with layered acrylics, and creating depth, light and atmosphere in your paintings, along with many other practical tips and techniques. Maximum of 7 participants to ensure plenty of individual step by step guidance and personal attention. Suitable for beginners and experienced artists alike. No prior drawing or painting experience required. All art materials are provided.
Trained in the classical European school of realistic drawing and painting, I’ve worked across many mediums, but today I am best known for textural acrylic and oil works that focus on the individuality of Australian flora. My process begins with shallow sculptural relief backgrounds that capture the forms and textures of the bush. Onto these surfaces, I layer subtle hues and naturalistic details. From afar, the paintings often read as abstract compositions; up close, they reveal intricate studies of colour and form. As a newcomer to Australia, painting became my way of connecting with this land — learning its trees, flowers, and light through observation. I believe that when we truly know something, we begin to care for it. My work invites viewers to see the bush not as a uniform green mass, but as a collection of distinct, vibrant individuals.
