I kid about the hats that I wear in a week. One of I kid about the hats that I wear in a week. One of the hats I’ve not worn enough is the one covered in paint (and labelled as ‘artist’).

This year I’ve carved out a day in my week to just… create. Not for the expectation to sell, but to just flex the creative muscle and see where it leads.

I’m like anyone else who loses touch with creativity. Even though I know how important it is to fulfill my creative side through play, experimentation and grace, I become distanced from it through life’s other expectations of me. But if I dig deeper, it’s me that allows this and it’s only me who can navigate my way back to centre.

Today I spent a few hours making a start on a painting which I’ve fallen in and out of love with multiple times already. It’s that push and pull of the creative process that I’ve missed, where the destination unfolds with each mark I make - sometimes with an exacting perfection, and other times not.

Here’s to creative Wednesdays!

It was a surprise and a pleasure to sell this whop It was a surprise and a pleasure to sell this whopping painting to a lovely local couple just before Christmas last year. It now sits pride of place in their family room, exuding a bright and energetic vibe.

Watercolour in the Gardens // Sunday 22 February, 2026.

Join me for a lovely late-Summer afternoon set amongst the beautiful established gardens of Caroline Hills. Suitable for beginner and intermediate levels, this workshop will see us paint some loose florals with watercolour.

Materials, a shared grazing board, a glass of wine or mocktail, and a beautiful and inspiring setting is included in your ticket. We will also experience a short guided tour of the garden by Caroline Hills owner, Helen Strickland.

This small-group workshop, like all workshops I offer, is thoughtfully curated. Caroline Hills is a perfect location and much more than a vineyard, a farm, or a garden—it’s a lifelong project, shaped by dedication, discovery, and the rhythm of the land. To paint in this location will not only provide inspiration; it will be a sanctuary to explore our creativity and connect with like-minded people.

Limited to 10 tickets. Link to purchase in bio.

Come and learn watercolour with me, starting Thurs Come and learn watercolour with me, starting Thursday August 28 (next week). Over 4 weeks we will learn the intricacies of this beautiful medium. We meet on Thursday nights from 6:30-8:30 and cover fundamentals, colour and how to compose an artwork.

What I love most about this short course is the regular meet-ups with great people. I always walk away with a full heart because what creativity naturally does it open people up to share & receive. I often say it’s food for the soul, because it simply is.

So if you have an interest in learning, and perhaps need to carve out time just for you, then please consider joining me. Consider it a personal invitation.

Details of the course can be found via the link in my bio. And should you have questions, please get in contact.
