The Shed Studio
🌿 Welcome to The Shed Studio 🌿
Nestled between lush farmland, tranquil bushland, and winding waterways, The Shed Studio is a peaceful retreat that houses my shop, gallery, and teaching spaces. Set within a complex of historic buildings once used for tobacco storage and processing, it holds the rich legacy of a family tradition.
Our family was among the last tobacco growers in the Bundaberg area, with the farm operating until 1993. We’ve preserved the original infrastructure and equipment, ensuring this chapter of history remains alive.
In 1996, the Cottage—once a sorting shed—was lovingly restored and transformed into a charming family home. It continued as a farmstay until 2010, and now stands as a welcoming space for creativity and connection.
The Shed Studio is a haven for inspiration, where the past meets the present in a space designed for both personal reflection and artistic expression. Come visit, create, and be inspired in this serene environment steeped in history. 🌟

Home Farm Studio
My home studio is situated in our cottage on a sugar cane farm in Alloway, in the Wide Bay Region of Queensland. I have surrounded our home with beautiful forest like gardens. If I could I would spend most of my time outdoors, but I am sensitive to heat and struggle in our hot, humid summers.
After spending years squashed into a small room with no place for a large canvas, I've finally got the space of my dreams. Sliding glass doors from my studio allow access to a screened-in corner of our veranda . It is perfect. I've got my connection to the outdoors whatever the weather, space to work, space to meditate and a corner for a nice cup of tea while I dream up more ideas. And when it is too hot, I can close the glass door to take advantage of the air conditioning whilst still being able to gaze out into nature.
My indoor space now boasts plenty of light for filming my workshops and storage for all of my supplies. Hector's old leather chair still has its place just inside the door.
