Hi, I’m Anna,
Your artist + guide!
I’m a colourful painter who lives in a white brick house in Toowoomba, Australia, with Maeby the Studio Dog and my two younger kids.
I’ve always loved to draw. That some people think they “can’t even draw a stick figure’“ makes me very sad. And anyway, stick figures are overrated.
Being able to pick up a pencil or brush and confidently draw or paint is a fabulous way of living. It’s a gateway to Creative Problem Solving and that’s important for all of us.
Another bonus – Art Friends are the best friends.

The word on the street
My skills and confidence grow every time…
I am loving the Shiny Happy Drawing Course, Anna. Congratulations on such a wonderfully creative and informative program. The way you’ve differentiated, to accommodate participants’ time and experience is fantastic.
An amazing teacher
Anna – you’re an amazing teacher! So lovely! You used the “think aloud” strategy better than anyone I have encountered (I was a teacher and administrator for 37 years, so I’ve seen a lot of teaching). This was fun!
I can’t stop!
Anna is a natural teacher. She scaffolds the learning and I have so much more confidence to draw and paint now. I can’t stop.
My skills and confidence grow every time…
I have done many of Anna’s courses and have seen my skills and confidence grow every time. I highly recommend her classes.
