About Studio Yellow

It’s simple… if you love making art, you’ll love Club Yellow. All levels welcome! It’s a relaxing coffee date with people who dabble in all things creative. We meet once a month in Wynnum and our next catchup is next Sunday afternoon, September 27. You don’t have to be accomplished, you just need to be ready to feel included and be inspired. Message me to get all the information! 👍🏻 #makefriends #communityiseverything #artnetwork #artclub #artmeetup

Spring in Brisbane is amazing. Here are some pics from my garden to inspire you to create something arty and beautiful. Alternatively use this as a prompt to go outside and take some pictures of your own. It’s amazing what you’ll find when you start looking. I’m so excited that my ornamental pineapple is growing so well. I created this plant and managed to keep it alive, ever since the original baby fruit was given to me a few years ago…a gift from a client who owns @sherrysgardennook_wynnum 🪴. The flower of the walking Iris is always stunning, and the roses are beautiful even after a week in the vase (a gift from Graham on the anniversary of my husband’s passing). Making art about flowers that you experience the more deeply instead of just looking you slow down notice every detail and truly connect with their beauty. #enjoyeverymoment❤️ #springtime #slowdowntime #connectwithnature #drawflowers

While making art on your own can be fulfilling and therapeutic, being part of a group has wonderful benefits.

When you join my SPLAT ‘n’ CHAT sessions, you become part of a supportive community of people who relate to the arty highs and lows you’re experiencing. Together we find solutions and suggest future directions.💛

Splat ’n’ Chat is perfect for adults who have art projects on the go and simply need dedicated time to focus and finally make progress. You’ll enjoy relaxed company while you work, with the added bonus of having my guidance, ideas, and gentle suggestions available whenever you want them.

Splat ’n’ Chat is NOT for you if you’re looking for a structured art lesson...For that, you’ll need to sign up for my Art Mentoring Program, Weekend workshops, or private sessions.👍🏻

Message me to find out about the upcoming 4×2‑hour sessions, held in Manly West, Brisbane— it’s the perfect next step toward finally achieving your art goals.🍍💛 #artgroup #brisbaneart #communitymatters #artmentor #artcoaching

Making ANYTHING that you don’t care about is hard.

That’s why you might have struggled with art at school.

Following the curriculum and trying to be creative within the constraints of the assessment criteria doesn’t have much in common with finding JOY!🎨

When you’re an adult, EVERYTHING CHANGES.

For adults, Art as a hobby allows you to create something that really means something to YOU.

The process becomes more important than the finished product.

The art materials give you a chance to explore, experiment, and express yourself! An opportunity to enjoy the moment.

When you make art as a hobby, you don’t have to create a masterpiece. You just need to make something that matters to YOU.

I know because I taught the official Qld art curriculum in schools for almost 30 years. I assessed students as young as 6 years old, right up to 18 year olds completing Senior! The Report cards, Assignments, and Exams required as part of the academic subject called Visual Art make it very different from the art I teach now. The focus now is on YOU! So, remember, now you can make artwork that you care about. It can be personal! It can be fun and whimsical. It can be even be ugly and messy…the joy of art isn’t in what you create—it’s in how creating makes you feel. 💛 #qualifiedteacher #arttherapist #mentalhealthadvocacy #besthobby #makeityourway
