Painting, and sharing the process.

I’m a Gold Coast oil painter and teaching artist. Alongside my own studio practice, I teach weekly classes for adults and focused oil painting workshops.

My teaching is about giving you the skills and confidence to develop your own painting. There is time for questions, individual guidance and the pleasure of making work together.
