Location Options in Toowoomba
In your Studio
Comfortable location
In most situations, your home or studio can be the best place to conduct a private lesson. I can easily come to you, provided you live inside the Toowoomba boundary. If travel is required, please get in touch.
In the Gallery
During exhibition
On occasion, it is easier to photograph your artwork while they are on display in a gallery. To do this, you will need to ask permission for me to come into the gallery. Usually, this is done after hours or when the gallery is closed to the public.
