To give anyone wishing to bring the kids and join me on these sessions, a heads up …
I will be doing a storytelling and drawing workshop for kids and as a wildlife illustrator there will be an eco-bent on it. The theme this year I heard was cake so I could have something up my sleeve for this workshop.

I amd really looking forward to it, the WE LOVE LIFE FESTIVAL was great fun in the gardens earlier this year. So I hope to see you all there Sunday.

Enjoy!

A taste of things to come

“Every wildfire starts with a spark.”

It’s my creative vision to inspire kids of all ages to take an interest in preserving our native wildlife. This is Australia’s living heritage, and the way I would like to do this is through art education and engaging workshops. Wildfire Workshops have a big yet uplifting vision to spark a child’s imagination and at the same time:

•   Inspire the love of reading and books through illustration and storytelling.

•  Encourage the love of drawing through teaching simple easy-to-follow techniques
– discovering the ability to draw is like a second language within us all.

•  Innovate by using traditional means to achieve fantastic digital ends.

•  Endeavour to produce works of wondrous imagination and visual dexterity.

•  Educate and highlight the plight of our endangered bush creatures while
creatively exploring Australia’s unique natural beauty through art.
