Sydney cafe sketch class

A typical sketch session at a local Sydney cafe

We meet informally and go through the basics, experimenting, playing and having fun with colour and shapes. I love to see how people relax, laugh and leave with a new sense of confidence and often, new friendships.

Hi - I’m Anna!

Living on Sydney’s beautiful north shore allowed me to develop a passion for appreciating the world around me, but it has been the discovery of sketching that has allowed me to capture many of those places and memories, through my own special lens.

I stumbled across sketching by chance, never expecting to find the immense joy it would bring to me. The growing desire to sketch, coupled with my genuine love of people, has led me to teaching and sharing the practice with you.

Sketching allows us to focus and become fully present, a kind of mindfulness, to take a break from the ‘busy-ness’ of our daily lives. It teaches us to see our surroundings through fresh eyes, to really observe it. That is why we learn something new with every sketch we create!

Through sketching I can show you how to capture your own special memories while enjoying a new way to relax, wherever you are. Sketching is quick, easy to transport and travel with, requiring only a few materials. In as little as 10 minutes, a sketch can turn your day around.

Everyone can sketch, it’s a skill you can learn - all you need is an open mind and keen attitude, to notice the world you see around you.
