My name is Annette, Brush Tips and Sips is me.

I have been teaching crafting and painting for over 30 years. I started out teaching ceramics in the late 1980s and purchased by own studio in 1990 teaching ceramics, painting and crafts.

In 1992 I did one of the first teaching courses for Decorative Painters in Australia. In 1993 we moved overseas for two years and I was lucky enough to paint and learn with some of the best decorative painters in the USA.

You will most often find me doodling and painting flowers (I think this goes with my love of plants). I love painting and decorating all different types of surfaces, and I am always on the lookout for new things to paint on.

I have a passion for teaching and sharing my skills with others and hope you find the classes a fun and rewarding experience.

When I am not painting you might find me lost in a book, or the garden or out riding my horse.
