TURN YOUR PASSION INTO YOUR PROFESSION

I've walked the walk and know you can do this too.

From playful marks, unplanned blobs,  and unsuccessful experiments.

I've gone from wondering "how?" to confident strokes, painting mastery, being an industry expert and signing dream clients.

I’ve taught over a thousand students how to harness their creativity through the power of painting and design. I teach them how to become the creative they want to be, tap into raw artistry, and start producing work they’re proud of and their customers love.

With a Printed Textiles Degree, Fine Art diplomas and over 14 years of experience in this industry…you’re in safe hands.

Sound good?... Let's dive in.
