The Tuesday Artist
The Tuesday Artist is a 6-part online programme designed to help you develop a more confident and sustainable art practice by learning how to see differently.
Rather than focusing on finding ideas or developing a fixed style, this course begins with attention. You learn how to collect visual material from your everyday environment, build connections between what you observe, and develop it into meaningful creative work.
Each module combines practical exercises, observational tasks, and reflective guidance to support both your making and your thinking. You are supported through structured weekly learning, mindset mentoring, and live Q&A sessions.
This course is for artists who want to move beyond overthinking, reconnect with their way of seeing, and build a practice that feels clearer, more consistent, and more personally grounded.
You don’t need more ideas. You need to learn how to look.
You don’t need more ideas.

The Tuesday Artist is a 6-part online programme that helps you build a confident, sustainable creative practice by learning to look, collect, and make work from what is already around you.

you think you lack ideas

Most artists don’t need more information.
They need a different relationship with looking.
When you slow down and start noticing what is actually in front of you, your work begins to change.
Not because you are trying harder.
But because you are seeing it differently.

about me
I’m a full-time artist based in Brighton, Brisbane. My work explores botanicals and still life, transforming observation into richly layered acrylic paintings on board. I’ve exhibited internationally, and my work is held in private, public, and corporate collections.
I’ve spent my career working as an artist, and I feel very fortunate to do so. Like most artists, I’ve also experienced the uncertainty that comes with it, the periods of momentum, and the periods where things quietly fall away.
There was a time when I stopped making work altogether. Life shifted, marriage, moving countries, raising children, building a career and beneath it all was a steady undercurrent of doubt.
What I’ve learned is that sustaining an art practice is not just about talent or technique. It’s about how you keep returning to it. How do you stay connected to your own way of seeing, even when life is full?
Art is central to my life. It is not just what I do, it shapes how I see the world.
Alongside my practice, I’ve taught for many years, and I care deeply about helping other artists build a sustainable, grounded way of working. Not just how to make art, but how to keep making it.
Over time, I’ve seen many capable, thoughtful artists develop strong skills, only to stop once formal classes end, not because they lack ability, but because they haven’t yet built a practice they can return to on their own.
This course is designed to close that gap, to help you build a way of working that continues beyond instruction, and becomes part of your everyday life.
