Welcome!
My name is Tina! I am an artist based in the bayside suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland.
My style is unique and my colour palette is bright and free flowing! It is important to me that I embrace my creative side by exploring different techniques of drawing and painting, and mediums of expression.
My passion has always been art and I have been embracing this creativity for over 10 years as a Graphic Designer, Colour Consultant, Interior Stylist, Renovator and Artist. In recent years my focus has been back in the studio which has been an amazing way to reconnect with what I love most.
With my flare for colour and attention to detail, I am inspired by my surroundings, capturing the essence of Australia in many of my paintings. Choose from pieces already created in my gallery or commission me to create the ideal piece for yourself, a friend, a colleague or perhaps that perfect piece to finish off a room for a client.
I believe each piece should tell a story and that you are only limited by your imagination – I would love to share a little piece of colour and happiness with you and look forward to helping you find something that is uniquely YOU!
