We believe everyone is an artist.
Things we know to be true about sketching, seeing, and living a richer life.
Hi, I’m Anna
I'm a Toowoomba-based artist with over 30 years of life in this region - and over 100 online courses through my business Shiny Happy Art. My mission has always been simple: to spread the joy of drawing and painting.
Sketch With Us Toowoomba is the project I've been building toward. It sits at the intersection of arts, tourism, mental wellbeing, and community - and I believe it will do something genuinely new and wonderful for locals and visitors alike.
I really want to change the conversation around art having to be good. To me, art is so much more about looking at the world through the eyes of an artist. That is what makes your life richer and can fill your heart with genuine joy. I can't wait to sketch with you.
