​​​​

​​My mission in all my painting workshops and retreats is to help you learn to let go, trust your intuition and allow your inner child out to play. For me this is true spiritual soul work.

 

​​​​​These classes and workshops are great opportunities to work with an experienced artist to explore your artistic voice and purpose and develop your own direction in your work. 

​

​​I have been teaching painting as a creative therapy process for nearly 30 years with more than a thousand people participating in my programs over that time. Whilst many have gone on to become multi award winning artists my main goal has always been to help people use creative processes to connect with their inner creative self and learn to become more free, authentic and fulfilled in their lives. As well as running my own private programs I have trained and worked for many years as an arts worker in the mental health field, working in various “creative therapy” processes based on positive psychology and transpersonal approaches. I have given talks at numerous forums about art and mental health including the Australian National Mental Health Conference and the WA Mental Health Commission. 

 

In these workshops and courses I bring all this experience together, along with my success as a multi award winning exhibiting artist, to support you to use art to connect more deeply with your inner self, feel the bliss of pure creativity, and learn, through painting, to open your heart, let go and embrace the divine within, embrace the mystical, the wonderful and the enigmatic, “Inner Creative Self’ and see the beauty of nature through the wonder of the inner child. 

​

I hope you will join me on this journey of self - discovery.
