About Me

I'm your creative guide, helping you rediscover the joy, confidence, and playfulness in your art. Through painting, creative connection, and our ArtFun membership, I create a space where it’s safe to explore, mess up, and grow. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or reigniting a creative spark, I’m here to cheer you on!

I know what it feels like to feel frustrated trying to 'get my own style' or just being a good enough artist to show people

I was have been there, still there some days lol....

I have dabbled with art forever, but for the past 10 years, I have spent my time digging in to transform my own art journey into a success.

MY STORY...

For years, I believed art belonged to the “naturally talented.” I loved painting, but I’d stare at a blank canvas feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like I just wasn’t “good enough and no one would like my art.” Life got busy. Creativity got quieter. I had times where I stopped picking up the brush altogether.

But something inside me never let go. I kept creating — not for perfection, not for praise, but for the pure joy of it, it makes me calm and happy. I gave myself permission to play, to mess up, and to make art that felt fun, eventhough it was different from other artists work.

Along the way, I realised I wasn’t alone. So many others were craving the same safe, playful space to explore their creativity. 

 

That’s why I created ArtFun— a place where making art isn’t about being the best. It’s about being brave, being yourself, and having fun while doing it. I’ve walked that wobbly, wonderful path  to creativity, and now I’m here to walk alongside you.

Sometimes we think too much about 'what other people  will think' through my process, I realized; the transformation isn’t about becoming a “better artist”— it’s about becoming more me. 

Now, I help others experience that same shift. In my classes and workshops I’ve seen people go from saying “I haven't got a creative bone in my body” to lighting up with pride at their own creations. I’ve watched confidence bloom, not just on the canvas, but in life. That’s the real magic. That's the same experience that will happen Inside ArtFun,

Your journey doesn’t need to be dramatic or perfect. It can be quiet. Gentle. Full of laughter and color and surprise. Whether you're starting fresh or starting over, I'm here to guide, cheer you on, and remind you that creativity isn’t a destination—it’s your homecoming.

Oh and did I mention we have fun!
