Paint with Shell

What a wonderful first Paint & Sip at the Manning River Hotel! 🎨🐘

We painted abstract elephants, and I was so impressed with how everyone’s artworks turned out.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, relaxed, had a laugh, and trusted the process. It was such a fun afternoon and the perfect way to kick off Paint with Shell at the Manning River Hotel.

I can’t wait for the next one! 🥂✨

🎨 Youth Week

I had the pleasure of running an art class at Manning Valley Neighbourhood Services as part of Youth Week.

I love how unique and expressive every artwork turned out.

It’s great seeing young people build confidence through creativity, and this group did exactly that.

Thank you for having me again.

🐣 I absolutely loved being part of this beautiful Easter collaboration with Port Macquarie Picnics.

There’s something really special about bringing together a group of local, talented women and creating such a relaxed, inspiring experience.

I ran a fun little Easter egg painting workshop.

A huge thank you to Port Macquarie Picnics for organising such a gorgeous event, sharing with us a delicious high tea and bringing us all together.

And to the amazing collaborators who made the event so special:
- Katie for the photos Bungalow & Co
- Karen from Utopian Tea for the delish tea
- Gemma from Pearl of sugar for her gorgeous cookies
- Tanya for her company

It was such a joy to be alongside you all 🤍
