Welcome to my site about contemplative art – creating and guiding others.  A painter, former university lecturer in visual art, and teacher in many different venues since, my work draws on decades of artistic and life experience.

It was life experience that led to the shaping of what I offer now. A different kind of art practice came out of seeking solace after personal tragedy and serious illness; one that helped me tend to matters of Soul. And this is not language I use lightly or easily. 

I yearned to settle deeply as the unrest was driving me to distraction. And I longed to feel at home somewhere; somewhere to think my own thoughts.

From those two desires, arose my calming, meditative visual art methods that almost anyone can do, and creation of contemplative installations with my paintings and ceramics for private spaces, chapels and meditation rooms. 

Trained in art, education, life coaching and spiritual care, my programs draw from a raft of skills to clear blocks to creativity and develop painting skills effectively, so you really can confidently paint from your heart.
