GRAB YOUR SPOT

“Will you make an artist play date with me in my home city- Kerikeri, in The beautiful Bay of Islands!? Consider getting together with a bunch of workmates, family or friends—or fly solo and meet some fun-loving new people.

I love sharing the joy of creating amazing abstracts with people who turn up to my class looking for artistic inspiration or simply questioning, “I wonder if there’s an artist in me?” Or “Can I let go of detail and create something abstract.” Brilliant results are always achieved!

It doesn’t matter how much or how little skill you have as an artist, it doesn’t matter how old you are, it doesn’t matter what your background is… All that matters is giving yourself permission to play, have fun, connect with your Creative Spirit and express yourself joyfully.”
