Studio Details

Nestled within acreage, just 12 minutes from Dunsborough, my purpose-designed art studio emerges as a sanctuary amidst lush gardens and wild bushland. Surrounded by the natural beauty of native orchids, grass trees, and towering gum trees, my studio becomes a haven where creativity thrives in harmony with nature.

Crafted with precision despite its modest size, the studio caters perfectly to my artistic process. Flooded with natural light through large windows, my workspace is bathed in the ever-changing hues of the surrounding landscape, fostering a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor environments.

While I work, the gentle melodies of birdlife and the occasional rustle of nearby kangaroos provide a soothing rhythm, grounding me in the present moment and strengthening my connection to the land. Enveloped by the sights, sounds, and scents of the natural world, I find boundless inspiration, each brushstroke a testament to the beauty that envelops me.

Within this tranquil oasis, my creativity blossoms, nourished by the raw energy of the Australian landscape. Here, amidst the vibrant tapestry of flora and fauna, my art truly comes to life.

Stroll through the beautiful gardens and enjoy, whilst viewing the artworks on display.
