Drawing from Nature - A Gentle Introduction to Nature Journaling
I’m an artist, nature journalist, and educator working with drawing, journaling, and observation as tools for connection. Inspired by the Australian bush, my workshops and learning resources invite people to slow down, notice more, and engage creatively with birds, plants, and the landscapes around them. My teaching style is gentle and reflective, prioritising presence over perfection and curiosity over technique. I believe that learning to truly see nature is a vital step toward caring for it — I encourage closer attention to place and a deeper relationship with the natural world through creativity.
