I believe that everyone has an artist within and that creating something you would have thought impossible is a powerful and inspiring catalyst for change.
 
My passions are painting and teaching others to access their creative spirit. I began teaching by sharing a day in my studio with individuals, taking them through the creative process, and guiding them to conceptualise and create a beautiful finished painting. The individual Day in the Studio workshop that resulted led to the development of intimate group workshops.

The structure of my workshops can be adapted to different sized groups and time frames. Prices start from $499 per person and vary depending on location, number of participants, duration of workshop and your individual needs.

My studio is in the rainforest at Mt Nebo, just west of Brisbane on the scenic rim, a 35 minute drive from the CBD – accommodation is available. I am available for interstate workshops and to come to your home or local venue. Ongoing lessons are available for those who have done the workshop and want to continue learning.

I will be your technical guide and help you let your imagination access your heart. I guarantee you will be amazed at what you can create.

Through Donna's effortless guidance during the two day workshop, we experienced just how powerful the creative process is.  It was the first time I truly appreciated what it felt like to paint without preconceived ideas and I learned more about painting than I did in a whole year at art school.  I was thrilled with the result and the experience has inspired me to continue painting again.  Thank you Donna for a magnificent weekend!

I never thought I had an artistic bone in my body until I attended a 2 day workshop with Donna. Donna taught me how to leave my ‘thinking/analyzing brain’ aside and paint from my heart/soul/spirit. It was very freeing being able to just paint whatever I felt like and very gratifying by the end of the weekend to have completed my first ever painting! It gave me more confidence in myself and I now look forward to painting more at home. Thanks Donna for helping me unlock my creative side! My painting now sits on the entrance wall of our home!
