About Swirl Art

Hello from Clare, I am the lead artist and have a bachelor in fine arts. Swirl Art has been my business for over 10 years where I operate locally in the North East region of Melbourne. I offer art classes, face painting, body art, canvas, murals and community arts facilitation.

Swirl Art is driven by the philosophy that art brightens our lives and brings us joy, reflection and community connection. It is my pleasure to offer art services that allow me a wonderful way to connect with people and create together.

My background as an Educator and Community Development Worker provides a solid foundation for my art tutoring and community arts facilitation. My expertise in this area involves working with people experiencing social and psychological challenges. Currently, I work in the community centres leading art classes and therapeutic activity programs.
