The physical act of engaging with paint for me is an inner investigation and a process of discovery. I believe that the gestural mark is a direct physical expression.
There is always an intense experience, emotion and feelings that relate to a memory, time and place that I aim to translate in paint.' Jackson Pollock stated, "painting for me is energy made visible" I aim to capture the experience of my travels through South East Asia, Europe and Australia.To capture the true essences of the places I have explored through colour and form.

We were finally able to have my daughters 5th birthday party after the lockdowns and it was worth the wait! Helen was great with the kids, they had such a great time with some art and party games. The venue was great, lovely decorations and the tables for kids and parents were set up beautifully. Kids and parents all thought it was great, highly recommend Artea for a kids party!

My daughter had her 8th birthday party here. I found Helen and her team very organised, professional and they are fantastic with kids! Helen took the time to explain how the party works, she took care of everything while I managed to take photos and even be in the photos. We did the clay party which included food, the art activity, a disco and pass the parcel. We were so impressed with the party that I enrol my daughter in art based activities at Artea during the school holidays. I definitely recommend Artea for kids parties and their art classes.

We held my sons 5th birthday party at Artea today and everyone had an absolute ball!!! Helen was amazing at keeping the kids busy and entertained the whole time. They did arts and craft, made slime, did science experiments then finished off with pass the parcel, musical statues and limbo. The kids left saying it was the best party 🤗 I highly recommend this venue!!!

Fantastic place! I wanted a fun and relaxed activity for my sisters hens party. Helen did an amazing job helping me decide on an activity and plan for the afternoon - we ended up all making birds from clay with some fabulous sequin and feather add ons.
There was a photo booth set up which was a great source of entertainment and memories.
Thank you so much Helen and the crew at Artea! Highly recommend!

Helen is such a warm and friendly personality and runs a fabulous art class. My daughter counts down the days until we next go- she feels challenged and inspired. We have also had a birthday party at Artea and it was the best thing ever. No set up or clean up for me- maximum fun for the kids. Highly recommend

Thank you to Helen and the team for a FABULOUS 5th birthday party. Nothing was too much trouble, the theming was beautiful, high tea for the little ones just right and the kids were all entertained which meant the adults got to enjoy a good catch up. We all had such a great experience and Helen went above and beyond to make it a success - highly recommend if you are looking for a party venue!
