MY STORY

Hello and welcome,

Hi,
My name is Lee and I am a mixed media visual artist and art tutor.
My work is primarily landscapes using acrylics and adding more depth and texture using various mediums including charcoal, oil pastels and inks.
I find my inspiration out my backdoor. Where we live, we are so fortunate and back onto a beautiful vista that showers us with nature, bird life, changing weather, sunrises, and sunsets. This area looks out onto the vista which enjoys great sunlight and some fabulous breezes in summer along with inspiration for bush artworks.
My other passion is en plein air painting, I run free monthly pain outs in the local City of Kingston using the natural beauty of parks and reserves.

The local area is my inspiration for art inspired by nature.

Where we live, we are so fortunate and back onto a beautiful landscape that showers us with nature, bird life, changing weather, sunrises, and sunsets. We have an enclosed patio "Art in the Garden Room". This area looks out onto the vista which enjoys great sunlight and some fabulous breezes in summer along with inspiration for bush artworks.

I can also be found painting in my affectionately known "little art shed".

As a mixed media artist my artwork is produced with an array of mediums including acrylic paints, charcoal, pastels, pencils, and watercolour. In mid 2023 I started on collage projects and experimenting with gelli printing, both have been fun and made their way into some of my finished artworks.

During the school terms, I facilitate six-week adult art classes at the local community service centre. I enjoy facilitating classes throughout the year. The centre classes focus on a variety of mediums and genre's including charcoal, acrylic, watercolour, mixed media, pastels and gouache.

Students were wanting more classes in between terms, so in term two break of 2023, I commenced a Creative Circle held at Art in the Garden Room. This program was so popular the first workshop sold out in a matter of days.
Currently, I facilitate over 120 sessions per year. Art classes often have the "sold out" sign on them within a week of launch.

Creative Circle workshops have proven a hit as we dive into tapping into our creative journey. We discover many ways to find our artistic voice through a variety of techniques.
Places are limited to ensure everyone has the best possible experience.

I also have two private clients and run weekly group classes covering a range of mediums and styles.
Monthly, on Saturdays I hold a free en plein air excursion, taking advantage of the beautiful bayside suburbs and surrounds.
