A Look Back at Our Winter Workshops 🌿🎨
We had some very enjoyable workshops in the studio over winter!
With small groups, I can give each person the attention they need, demonstrate the techniques closely, and help everyone achieve a successful result.
I’m especially proud of those who had never picked up a paintbrush before. Seeing them start with no experience and finish with a painting they are genuinely proud of is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.
We experimented with different techniques, materials and approaches to painting — and, of course, had a lot of fun along the way.
Here are some of the results from our winter workshops. I think everyone did a fantastic job!
If you would like to join me for a workshop, I have more sessions coming up, with new techniques and subjects to explore.

My newest artwork, What the Red Caps Hide: Lime Bloom, was SOLD at the 50x50 Exhibition at Brunswick Street Gallery, Melbourne. This tree portrait is inspired by the extraordinary flowers and seed capsules of Eucalyptus macrandra. The vivid red nut caps seem to guard a surprise beneath them: luminous lime-green blossoms that transform the tree into an explosion of colour.
