About

My heart has always been a little bit country.

I live in Rivendell, a small lifestyle property between Tarras and Redbridge, with my husband, our two children, and a collection of much-loved animals. We also run a small free-range egg business, which keeps us connected to the land and the simple joys of country life.

Creativity has always been an important part of who I am. I have a deep love for arts, crafts, and making things by hand, and over the years I have seen how creative experiences can positively impact children’s confidence, wellbeing, and way of thinking.

I created Belas Artes from a simple belief: children thrive when they are given time, space, and freedom to create.

Through art and hands-on experiences, I aim to provide a welcoming space where children can slow down, explore their ideas, learn new skills, and express themselves creatively. Some of the most rewarding moments have been watching children grow in confidence, discover their strengths, and take pride in what they create.

At Belas Artes, the focus is not on perfection. It is about imagination, curiosity, creativity, and the joy of making something with your own hands.
My hope is that every child leaves with more than a finished project — they leave with confidence, inspiration, and the belief that their ideas matter.
