About Me

I live with my family on a vineyard in Pokolbin, NSW, Australia.

While an academic with a strong philosophical bent, ideally, I want nothing more than for others to experience the joy of art and nature. Working straight from nature & en plein air from my bush studio enables me to fully capture my love of the Hunter Valley landscape.

 
 
 
 

Workshops

A big part of my passion for art lies in teaching, I love working with students to explore their own techniques and what excites them. I offer several class types for schools, community groups, and more. These observational and experimental drawing classes mainly explore my love of charcoal, soft pastels, and oil paints. With plein air painting from my studio, students enjoy uninterrupted and inspirational views of wine country and the Broken Back Ranges, Hunter Valley NSW Australia.

 
 
 

Studio Tours

I adore having art-loving people pop into the studio. My studio tours typically involve a walk about the studio, plus an artist talk about my art and process. If this is something you would like to arrange for your next group outing, please get in touch.

Please note that I typically need at least 2 weeks notice for any studio tour bookings.

In love with this painting. It reminds me of hanging meat at the butcher shop. 🥩 Very flesh-like and sinuous. Hmmm… it’s going to be hard parting with this one. 😍 ‘Infinite Never-Never’ Exhibition Sept 9-18 @asw.artspace
Reminiscing about our adventure to dusty Grawin last January on this cold winters day. It seems like a million years ago I was sitting a hot, dry opal field while painting but loving every minute. 🥰 🌵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ** Exhibition this Sept @asw.artsp
