And it's wonderful to have you here.
I invite you to step out of the cold that is the daily grind of life, and into my warm and welcoming Greenhouse.
I am passionate about developing creativity and self-expression in my students, through the visual arts. It's what gives rise to confidence and critical thinking in adults. And it’s that mantra that I carry through into my art classes and online membership today.
Inspire your creativity to ever soaring new heights in one of my watercolour/black ink art classes:
🌎 Online to the world in my Evergreen classes
🙋🏻♀️ Or In-person here in my hometown of the Gold Coast, Australia.
(See more details of my classes below.)
Whether you're a beginner, or an experienced creative whose spirit has grown weary, my classes are for you.
Art classes where the women of the Gold Coast, Australia, get to take their crayons back after years of giving them away! With a focus on nurturing the creative spirit, progress rather than perfection, and the building of self-confidence in both the art room and beyond!
It's here that I take my mantra online. Whether you're after a monthly membership OR just wish to be a casual visitor, and you live anywhere in the world, Evergreen is for you. My community and I meet to create easy art once a month. With a focus on nurturing the creative spirit, progress rather than perfection, and the building of self-confidence in both the virtual art room and beyond! There are also a plethora of video tutorials, and downloadable resources, where I help you open the door to your creative genius ✨, all accessed at your leisure.
If you have an idea for a private art class or workshop, perhaps for a special event or other, then let's chat! I would love to bring your dream to life! Please fill out the contact form via the button below, with a few details of what you have in mind.

And see the Greenhouse magic in action with no strings attached, with this step-by-step online tutorial creating gorgeous watercolour mushrooms.
You’re after visuals that radiate the true essence of your brand’s soul, both on your website and on your social media.
But design isn’t really your area of expertise.
Before long, you’ve spent hours designing and redesigning graphics that don’t look or feel right. And they certainly don’t make you stand out.
When online design templates fail to effectively convey your brands’ unique personality, it’s time to let your creativity loose…… and watch your graphics bloom.
Step into my Greenhouse and discover a new way to grow your own memorable online presence that sparks real connection and takes the frustration out of what to post next.
My Evergreen creative membership is designed to help you do that. Each month you'll create a new and unique artwork. Then using my step-by-step easy video tutorials within the membership, I show you how to adjust the colour of the artwork to suit your brand colours, as well as other handy graphic design tips and tricks.

Your creative confidence is just beginning to sprout and you'd love an art class that promotes sustainable, abundant, innovative growth.
Or you’ve reached the flowering stage, but your creative spirit isn't as prolific as you’d hoped. You seek to express yourself more through your artwork.
Or you have outgrown your pot, and it’s time for a complete creative refresh.
I really believe Evergreen has empowered me to get to a higher creative level.
It's been transformative.
Thank you Lauren.

The quiet moment Evergreen gives me with my creativity leaves me feeling proud and accomplished, not only because I have created something but because I have connected with myself in a fun and inspiring way.
