My Painting Process

Layered. Intuitive. Alive with movement.

I build my paintings in layers—starting with soft washes of colour, letting the image emerge intuitively through glazes, brushwork, and unexpected moments. My approach blends classical training with expressive freedom, allowing the painting to guide its own direction. Each piece is a conversation between light, memory, and the energy of the natural world.

Creative Classes

Art that flows. Confidence that grows.

I believe everyone has a creative spark—and I’m here to help you find it.
Whether you're brand new to painting or picking up the brush again after years, my classes are about more than technique. I teach movement, rhythm, and how to trust your hand. You’ll learn to see like an artist, explore colour with joy, and grow your own unique style—layer by beautiful layer.

Classes are warm, practical, and encouraging… with just the right amount of boldness.
