Art Teaching
With over 15 years of experience as a practicing professional artist and my Bachelor of Fine Arts Hons (UNSW), I am well versed in a variety of mediums and techniques.
As a result of my long history of working in the arts, a big part of my passion for art lies in teaching. I offer several class types for schools, community groups, and more. These observational and experimental drawing classes mainly explore my love of charcoal, pastels, and oil pastels. With plein air painting from my studio, students enjoy uninterrupted and inspirational views of wine country and the Broken Back Ranges, Hunter Valley NSW Australia.

"Thanks for a great workshop. It has really inspired me to get back to some pastel work which has remained dormant for too long. I learnt quite a few tips yesterday to help with my composition and tonal values"
