I am passionate about all things art, creativity, colour, health and wellness. I empower students of all ages and abilities to find and use their creative voices and bring out the innate artist within us all. I started Artrageous Creations in 2011 to share my passion for Creative Arts with children and adults, beginning with school holiday classes, when I was 16 years of age, then officially as Artrageous Creations in 2011 at Victoria Park Centre for the Arts, to support the diversity of cultures, self-expression, process making, and enjoying the meditational, mindful aspects alongside the natural playfulness of art-making and responding, whilst making something amazing, beautiful and unique.

I have continued teaching visual art in schools to children, teenagers and adults as well as creating my own artworks.

I have extensive experience as a professional, registered teacher, teaching a variety of learning areas (MESH) and in Visual Arts, as a Visual Art Specialist Teacher for close to 18 years and am still creating, and happy to create with You, family, friends and the community to activate, share and bring about a sense of positive, down to earth consciousness, health, mindfulness, unity, wellness and empowerment, confidence, risk-taking and making, having fun, getting messy, developing focus gently in multi-discipline art studio areas, in a state of serenity, enhancing creative problem-solving skills, and ultimately developing one’s Self through the amazing medium of art with a kaleidoscope of colours, materials, methods – only to enrich and develop one’s esteem and vision of the art of life.

I have studied Fine Art and Visual Art, majoring in painting, exploring every other art studio area including, drawing, sculpture, textiles, fashion, design, photography, installation art, glassware sculpture, printmaking, art therapy, colour therapy, art history, and drama – and  love working in all these mediums!

I have a degree in Education and have been teaching curriculum learning areas including art and lifelong learning, (however extremely passionate about Creative Arts) in Perth and throughout the rich country including Aboriginal remote communities of Western Australia, which has enriched my learning and deepened my knowledge, appreciation, and love of diverse cultures and arts.

My desire is to inspire, empower and instil a positive growth mindset, resilience, happiness, technique and skills in individuals of all ages. 

I believe art-making and responding are healing, soothing and priceless. It’s not always about the end result, art is about process, narrative, inspiring others with the warmth of each unique creation, expanding awareness, and appreciating the many different forms of artworks in our world and in every day.  

I believe everyone is creative, despite how many times I hear words to the effect, ‘I can’t draw or paint…or make art, I’m not creative!’ My intention is to serve, provide and show people – children, teenagers and adults that they can! The chance to challenge, to shift a fixed mindset to a positive growth mindset working with heart, body, mind and soul, as there are so many ways to make, create something, anything – as it engages positive creative energy, and is, therefore, a work of art! 

Imagination and creativity are innately within Us All. I wish to bring it out in a fun, playful, supportive and positive way to make one’s soul sing! 

It’s time for us to redefine what really is Art, how to open up and further organically grow our creativity with all of its potentials,  to engage in experimenting, curiosity,  happiness, relaxation,  bringing joy along, beauty plus creative intelligence, only to realise and accept that we all are incredible at creating and truly are artists in the making masterpieces all the time in many a way.
