I'm a Melbourne-based illustrator and art teacher with a passion for watercolour. I've been teaching for over 10 years—both in Thailand and here in Australia—and nothing brings me more joy than helping people feel confident in their art skills.
My work is inspired by food, nature, and the simple beauty of everyday life. I love creating and sharing with others, and I’m all about building a warm, welcoming space for people to explore art—especially beginners discovering a new hobby.
Let’s paint together and find joy in the little things.
