In 2026, my family and I are setting off on a year-long adventure around Australia and I’m bringing my watercolour workshops with me!
This tour is all about connection, creativity and celebrating the beauty of the Australian landscape. From coastal cafes to community halls, botanic gardens and retreat venues, I’ll be teaching workshops in inspiring places right across the country.
Whether you’re keen to pick up a brush or you’d love to host an event in your community, I’d love for you to be part of the journey.

Would you like to bring one of my workshops to your community?
I’m always looking for beautiful, creative spaces to host. Think galleries, cafes, community centres, gardens or retreats.
I provide everything: materials, tuition, participant communication and marketing support. You simply provide the venue, and together we’ll create a joyful, memorable experience for your local community.
Expressions of interest are open and I'm looking forward to locking in some more dates as we make our way north and across the country.
Each workshop is a relaxed, hands-on creative session designed for adults (though older teens are welcome).
You don’t need any experience, just curiosity and an open mind. I’ll guide you step-by-step through my process using watercolour inspired by the natural world.
All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with some new skills, a finished artwork and a full heart.
I've got two suggested workshops, 'Intro to Watercolour' and 'Watercolour En Plein Air'. Tried and true classes great for beginners. I'm always open to other ideas too!
A joyful exploration of loose, floral painting for beginners.
Relaxing outdoor session capturing local landscapes in line and wash.
I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes updates, painting adventures and new workshop dates as we travel around the country.
Follow along to see where we’re headed next and maybe I’ll be painting near you soon!
If you’d like to attend, host or collaborate on a stop of the tour, I’d love to hear from you.
