About rock painting:
Rock painting is an ancient form of art. Australian scientists have discovered the country's oldest known rock art - a 17, 300-year-old painting of a kangaroo. Our ancestors used to tell stories on rocks by painting symbols that represented their daily life. Today we still love to use rocks as our 'canvas' to express our creativity and tell stories. Given their smaller size they not only make a perfect canvas but an easy way to gift your artwork whether to a stranger or to a loved one.
The Kindness Rock Project is another way to share your art on rocks it was started by Megan Murphy in 2015 who wrote "You've got this" on a rock and left it on a beach on Cape Cod. After a friend found it,   she started leaving more rocks with inspirational messages behind. The movement has become an international movement with painted rocks being left in public places to be found all around the world.

I am a passionate creative teacher and I teach in the studio, online and at retreats. I love co-teaching with other teachers for fun-filled creative workshops.
I love to flow with mixed media and offer a variety of classes. I create intuitively and teach new things that I discover on my creative adventures. Most of all I love to encourage you - my friends - to follow your heart, create and follow your own creative adventures.
My favourite thing to do is create abandoned kindness art, where I make a piece of art, add a kindness message to it and abandon it in my community for someone to find it.
I love to spread kind messages through my art. I would love you to come and create with me.
