Hello & welcome!
I’m Jo, an Australian watercolour artist, transpersonal art therapist, and Airbnb super-host.
I have a deep love of the Australian bush and explore its mystical spirit in my paintings.

Throughout my life I have experienced the healing benefits of art and nature and share that gift with others. Whether you are looking to add a touch of magic in the form of ethereal watercolour paintings to your home or express your authentic self in creating your own art expressions I am here to help guide the way.
Please explore my nature-based art & therapy offerings below & discover the magic within.
