I have a background in marketing and have been working as a professional artist since 2012. I have held numerous solo exhibitions and have had my work hung in a number of prestigious art prizes including the Mosman, Kennedy and Gallipoli to name a few. I enjoy running workshops and working with students to realise their full potential in a fun and supportive environment. I love colour and believe that art should bring joy into the world. Come paint with me!
