My Story →
Welcome to My Gallery
Welcome to my world! I'm an artist in love with colour, and for over 20 years, I've explored colour theory and how to bring it to life on canvas.
I've been teaching in-person classes for over a decade, and now I guide students all over the world in creating paintings that are alive with vibrant colour and expressive, loose brushwork.
Nothing excites me more than witnessing those 'aha moments' — when artists begin to see colour, shape, and light in a whole new way.
I'm so glad you're here. Let's paint boldly together!

Teaching is my Passion
I truly believe that everyone has a creative side — it's just hidden more deeply in some. It's my job and joy to draw out that creative side of people by teaching the joys of painting.
I've been painting since early 2000 and teaching for over 14 years. Many of my students have been with me for 10+ years, and I've also built an online community of students from all over the world.
