Stepping Away, Returning Full: A family Time in Forster
Sometimes, the most important part of the work happens away from the studio — in the spaces where we pause, reconnect, and allow ourselves to be fully present.
Recently, I spent time in Forster, NSW, surrounded by family. It was one of those rare moments where time softens — where the days unfold gently, shaped more by connection than by structure.

Over the past months, the studio has extended beyond its walls — becoming a space of connection, reflection, and quiet transformation through Art as Therapy workshops with the Boorowa veteran community. At its core, this work begins with the simple act of showing up.
I had the privilege of leading a series of Art as Therapy workshops at Chesterton Gallery, working alongside local veterans and their families.
