I have created a series of art workshops called “Brushes in Bunkers” ranging from complete beginners to more advanced artists. They will be held in an old 60ft WWII underground bunker which remains cool most of the year round.
This was definitely a fantastic surprise and a highlight of our trip to Ketchikan. Mum and I waddled our way to the famous Creek Street shops, eyeing the iconic, vibrantly coloured buildings like kids in a candy store.
Another one from last year’s Alaska trip. This was on our second-to-last day as we crossed over Thompson Pass and down into Valdez.
While wandering through Possum Park, I frequently stumble upon these charming doves; however, I like to refer to them as my little feathered jump scare artists.
Christmas 2024 brought me a gift from my parents that was definitely up in the air—literally! They booked me a flight to Lady Elliot Island and snorkelling trip,
This is yet another gem from my 2024 escapade through Alaska and Canada! I had a blast painting those growler icebergs, which might as well be the divas of the Arctic.
While on a gold panning and salmon bake tour I came across an American Crow on a low branch. Been a bird lover, I’m happy to see any new birds, even common ones to the region.
A few years ago I went down to South West Rocks for a friend’s wedding. I decided to make a bit of a trip out of it and stayed for a few days on either side of the wedding.
After I had finished painting in my studio / gallery one afternoon, I decided to cycle down to the disused train line behind Possum Park. On the way down the hill, I came across a group of finches, apparently called a charm.
Each day was filled with exploration, from the ancient ruins of Athens to the stunning sunsets in Santorini. The delicious Mediterranean cuisine tantalized my taste buds, with flavors that linger in my memory.
Another escapade with my sister—because who else would tolerate my shenanigans? This time, we island-hopped from Mykonos to Santorini, on a mission to bask in the glory of those iconic blue domes.
I find the best time to view landmarks is on an early morning jog before everyone wakes up. Since I have taken up urban sketching, I really appreciate buildings and bridges.
Another European trip, this time a stopover in Venice to take in some of the architectural delights. The streets and alleyways got me a little confused as I struggled to get to some locations I had my eye on.
I have visited Cradle Mountain, Tasmania a few times as I love hiking, and I have always wanted to do the Overland Track.
After viewing these windmills during the day, we decided to go back and watch the sunset from a different viewpoint. I love traveling the world, as there is so much to experience.
My reference photo was captured from a trip to Mykonos, Greece back in 2012 with my sister. Early one morning, I went for a 10 km jog into town before all the other tourists arrived.
The playful antics of these adorable creatures brought a smile to my face, as they tumbled over one another, occasionally glancing at me with curious eyes.
This was the second last day of our Cosmos tour, just before driving down to Valdez. It was good to see the Mountain range up close and I already knew I was going to paint a series of these artworks when I got back home.
After about half an hour of searching with a head torch and very depleted batteries. I briefly illuminate something with red / orange eyes that flew off into the moonless night.
The raised train line gives you a good vantage point of the birds feeding on the grass seeds. This also gives you kilometres of open grass country and open sky to see things approaching.
