About Art Focus

My passion for painting started at a young age, inspired by my father who was a renowned artist in New Zealand. Over the years, my love for colours, textures, and shapes has only grown stronger. Painting brings me a sense of inner excitement and freedom, and sharing that joy with my students is truly a gift.

For over three decades, I have honed my skills through courses with well-known artists in New Zealand and Australia, selling my works in both countries. Now, I bring art lessons to the Sunshine Coast, teaching acrylic painting to students privately and through Airbnb experiences in Buddina. Painting should be fun and relaxing, and I believe in creating a welcoming environment for everyone to learn and explore their creativity. Join me for a one-of-a-kind painting experience!
