UPDATE - Regular workshops kick off again in October - starting on the first Sunday of every month.

In the meantime I’m available to run workshops for special events, whether it be a special personal celebration, or a corporate event. I’ve run workshops as part of the Fremantle Festival, Ocean-Life Festival, Bay Life in Bremer Bay, and most recently for Perth Scuba Celebrating PADI’s 10th Anniversary of Women in Diving.

The next drawing event is my first ever super special Shark Session in collaboration with Perth Scuba on Saturday 24th of August. This is part Perth Scuba’s initiatives to raise awareness of sharks and their conservation, a subject close to my heart. Tickets are already going quick - click on the Shark Session button to come join us for fun time drawing sharks, with drinks and nibbles included in the price.

If you have an event that is focused on connecting people to nature for the well-being of both, I’d love to help!
