I am a colourful painter from a foggy mountain in Queensland, Australia. Bright, happy (and shiny!) colours are my thing and the finishing coat of gloss varnish is my favourite part of the art process. Inspired by Matisse, Ken Done and Manny Farber, my paintings are colourful and illustrative, often featuring faces, flowers and birds.

As well as painting originals, I founded the Shiny Happy Art Club and am now the host of the 'Art Fit' podcast! My advice and classes are perfect for beginners.
