Today my art program, The Beach Studio was in full swing at the Australian Refugee Association’s Girl Empowerment Camp. There we learnt about Mexican feminist artist, Frida Kahlo and studied the detail in her self portraits. We were inspired to paint ourselves as the empowered, strong woman Frida Kahlo represented – with a monobrow, of course! We learnt about face proportions, pattern making and what it meant to be a human being who represented confidence, resilience and strength. View the full gallery here.

I feel SO honoured to be involved in SA Artists for SA Kids​ online art auction managed by Brooke and Michelle​ from season 4 of Australia’s House Rules.

Proceeds from the auction will go to Little Heroes Foundation​ who are absolute legends in supporting seriously ill South Aussie kids and their families. More information here.
