Worldwide, but please for international clients message me first so we can arrange the best option for your country. When shipping internationally, I prefer to ship canvas artworks rolled in a tube and smaller artworks and artworks on paper will be shipped in a flat sturdy mailing envelope, or small box.

Australia: Small artworks (up to 30cm long) and artworks on paper, A3 and A4 are shipped with Australia Post and is $14.95. All larger canvas artworks are usually shipped with a courier and is $25.00. There is reduced shipping rates for Note Cards only. You are also welcomed to collect your artwork from my studio in the Maitland LGA and I can also offer free delivery around the Lower Hunter Valley region (consisting of the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock Local Government Areas).

International: Additional shipping fees will apply to international orders. Please ensure you request a quote before finalising your order.

Please keep in mind: International delivery costs do not include any taxes or duties which may be applied by customs at the destination country. Any taxes or duties incurred are your responsibility. In accordance with Australian export regulations, we are required to declare the exact value of all items. For more information on taxes, duties and customs regulations, I recommend contacting your local customs office directly.

Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for deliveries. Couriers and Australia Post are under increasing pressure now, demand is high and due to COVID restrictions, their operations aren't running at full capacity. I can express ship to you, if necessary, for an additional fee. Please contact me and request a quote for express shipping.

I hold workshops in the Lower Hunter Valley area of NSW. Other areas within a 2hr drive can be arranged, subject to a travel charge. Contact me to discuss further.

You’ll have all the necessary equipment provided, including:

• A 11” x 14” or 12” x 16” blank canvas

• Acrylic paints

• Brushes

• Table easel

• Apron and

• Glassware for your beverages (most important)

All sessions include guidance from me to assist you in releasing your inner Monet. The only thing you’ll need to bring is your favourite bottle of vino, some munchies (unless purchased as an add-on) and be ready to have some fun!

Estimated running time is between 2.5 – 3hrs.

Even though I provide aprons to protect your clothes from paint, it’s best to wear something you don’t mind the idea of getting a little bit of paint on. Also, think comfortable!

Absolutely! I encourage everyone to have a little food to eat while they paint and sip! Bring your own nibbles or let our local caterer do the hard work for you with one of their hand-crafted, locally sourced grazing boxes.

Yes, with at least 2 days’ notice.

Of course, you can! Workshops can be booked for those 6 years and older, but a responsible adult must be always present.

I understand that sometimes life gets in the way, which is why I’m happy to cancel or reschedule your booking for $50 non-negotiable fee per transaction up to 48-hours before your scheduled session time.

If cancelling or rescheduling within that 48-hour window, a $100 non-negotiable fee per transaction will be applied. However, grazing boxes cannot be rescheduled or cancelled within the 48-hour window. If you cancel or reschedule your session within this 48-hour window, the cost of your grazing boxes will unfortunately be forfeited.

Important: I’m very strict on ‘no shows’. If you don’t show up for the workshop, you will be charged for the full amount. I’m unable to refund, reschedule or provide credit for a missed session.

Cancellations Due to Covid Lockdown – If your session is cancelled due to a government mandated closure, your workshop and grazing boxes will be rescheduled or provided to you as a credit at no extra charge. In the event this is not suitable, a flat $25 refund fee per transaction will be applied to cover transaction, web and administration costs.

In the very rare event that a workshop is cancelled, the ticket purchaser will be notified via email or text message as early as possible to the scheduled start time.

Ticket purchasers will be offered to reschedule their session to another date or credited the value of their purchase for future use.
