This open studio invites visitors into the world of a practising artist set against the garden that inspires her work. Browse a changing display of original oil paintings capturing the textures and colours of the New England landscape, alongside framed fine art prints, deluxe cotton and linen tea towels, and deluxe greeting cards — each piece a small window into the artist's practice.
It's a rare chance to meet the artist in person, hear the stories behind individual works, and wander the garden that has shaped her paintings. Whether you're a longtime collector or simply curious how a painting comes together, the studio offers a relaxed, personal setting to browse, chat, and find something to take home.
Located in the heart of Armidale, it makes an easy and rewarding addition to a visit to the region — especially for those exploring the New England Garden Festival.
