To say getting set to hit the road for my 2026 Watercolour Workshop Tour was overwhelming and incredibly hard is an understatement.
I completely underestimated just how much was involved in turning everyday life into life on the road. Not just for a trip, but for a year of teaching, traveling and creating across Australia.
I’ve been sharing little snippets about our upcoming Watercolour Workshop Tour around Australia, and I’ve had so many thoughtful (and practical!) questions land in my inbox. So I thought I’d gather the most common ones here and flesh them out properly.
There was a lot happening behind the scenes last year - quietly, patiently, and often very slowly - including the early stages and planning of not one… but THREE new online courses. Even writing that still feels a bit surreal.
It’s getting real! After months (years, really!) of planning, prepping, and quietly working behind the scenes, we’re officially two months out from hitting the road for my upcoming Watercolour Workshop Tourand I couldn’t be more excited!
After over 15 years of pouring watercolour joy into print runs and managing my dedicated print shop, I’ve decided it’s time to close the print shop doors as you’ve known them.
This is your chance to shop meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts from local makers, get your hands dirty in creative workshops, soak up some live music, and enjoy a cruisy day out with the fam.
New watercolour works inspired by the ironbarks of my coastal home. A reflection on resilience, balance, and belonging. Showing with Gallery Alchemy at Sydney Affordable Art Fair.

I’ve been bursting to share this with you… ✨ I’ve teamed up with the beautiful brand Cara Cashmere to create something truly special: two luxuriously lightweight cashmere scarves printed with my artwork. Think buttery-soft texture meets joyful colour.
How do you sum up a fabulous art retreat with a beautiful bunch of humans into a few words and some pics? You can't! But I'm going to do my best...
Sometimes everything just falls into place. Back in August I held three workshops at Meet Gather Collect in Aranda (Canberra). It was the second time I visited this gorgeous store and taught some classes. As we were planning the workshops, Thea the owner, suggested I exhibit some work on the walls as well - and of course, I said yes!
I'm thrilled to finally be able to share some details of my upcoming solo show. I've called it The Turning Point and it features works that are inspired by a multi day hike I did in Lutruwita / Tasmania a number of years ago. I reflect on that walk often and it represents a turning point in many ways, for both me personally and as well as in my professional practice. It was such an incredible experience that will live with me always.
