Welcome Beautiful Friend...
Hi, I’m Sharon – a mixed media abstract artist based in the idyllic South Coast of NSW, Australia. I’ve spent more than 20 years creating, exhibiting and selling my unique artworks – and now I’m so excited to share my passion with you!
With every piece I create, I draw inspiration from the beautiful chaos of nature and bring this same “perfectly imperfect” approach to the canvas. Each artwork evolves in an organic way – “art imitating life”.
To be a mixed media artist is to be a patient soul. By allowing myself to trust the process, I am able to celebrate the journey, not just the finished piece. I bring this same energy to my workshops, drawing on my experience and qualifications in adult education, coaching and mindfulness to help participants grow their creative confidence.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you find something that inspires you!
Where creativity meets wellbeing
Art is an incredible outlet – allowing us to escape into a world where there are no limitations. This freedom is not only good for the soul, but has also proven to have wider health benefits for people of all ages and situations.
My approach to mixed media art is all about “play not perfection” – freeing yourself and simply letting your creativity flow. It’s a big part of my workshops. I also teach you to draw on your own memories to create pieces that truly “speak” to you – each layer imbued with deeper meaning.
My mission is to create an environment where you give yourself permission to play and explore your creative confidence. Instead of a MIND FULL of unrealistic expectations and self doubt, you will become more MINDFUL – embracing a perfectly imperfect approach to art and life.
Making a difference together
Art can also play an important role in improving a sense of health and wellbeing – and here’s proof.
I’m so proud to be involved in special collaborations like this one with Gary McNeil, Dave Rastovich, Nathan Oldfield and Makuta Youth – raising funds to help initiatives that prevent youth suicide and raise a greater awareness of mental health issues in my local community.
I’m so happy to report that this surfboard auction has now ended and has raised almost $18.5k AU. We are eternally grateful for this amazing response, as these ripples of kindness will make such a positive impact in our community.

Praise for Sharon’s online course
“I have done so many online workshops over the years, and Sharon’s course is at the top of my list. It’s the most comprehensive course I have ever done, covering every possible aspect one would need to create a beautiful work of art… excellent for both beginners and established artists.” — Patricia Howell
