Art has been a part of my life since childhood, growing up exploring galleries in Laguna Beach with my mother. I trained as a glass artist in the UK, but after seven years of traveling the world, I transitioned to painting—allowing me to work more intuitively and tell deeper stories.
Teaching is an extension of my passion. I love seeing people connect with their creativity, whether they're picking up a brush for the first time or looking to break through artistic blocks. My workshops focus on self-expression, layering techniques, and embracing imperfection to create meaningful, personal artwork.
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve exhibited internationally in Australia, the USA, the UK, and Austria. I’ve taught adults and children, led community art projects, and created murals that bring stories to life. My approach encourages experimentation and confidence, helping students find their artistic voice in a supportive, hands-on environment.
Whether you're here to try something new or deepen your skills, my workshops are about more than just technique—they’re about discovering the joy of creating. Let’s make something meaningful together!
