About Studio Yellow

I launched Studio yellow in December 2016 at the Pineapple Hotel, Kangaroo Point, surrounded by friends and family.

Then, I started doing whatever I could to build awareness of my business by holding market stalls and begging for snippets of publicity in the newspaper etc. I also taught small groups in retirement villages, after school art classes for children at local primary schools, corporate workshops and grabbed opportunities for speaking gigs.

I hired huge community halls, week in and week out, and I was thrilled whenever I’d get a single booking. If that happened, I’d call everyone I knew, who might be available, to join the class too, so that the real client didn’t feel so alone.

That first year my mum, my mum’s neighbours, MBC colleagues (who worked part time), my dance friends who worked flexible hours, and even my niece who was at Uni, all helped me out.

Crazy but necessary, because if I cancelled all the workshops that were not viable “due to lack of numbers” I would not have a business at all. 🤔

How times have changed, and how grateful am I to everyone who has supported me… then and now! 🙏

You’re invited to join me on December 5, 2026, and celebrate 10 years of Studio Yellow.🎉

What a milestone. 😳

Ten years ago, Studio Yellow began with a simple vision: to create a space where adults could use art to support their mental health, wellbeing, and creativity. Since then, it has grown into something far bigger and more personally rewarding than I ever imagined, because of the incredible people who have supported it along the way.💛

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of watching friendships form, confidence grow, stories be shared, and countless moments of connection unfold through creativity. What many of you may not realise is just how important Studio Yellow has also been for my own healing. Following the heartbreak and trauma of my late husband’s mental health struggles, creating ‘something from nothing’ and working with all of my clients has given me meaning and purpose during a very challenging chapter of my life.🌼

This celebration is my chance to thank everyone who’s been part of the journey. Whether you’ve attended classes, shared a post, encouraged a friend to seek me out, or quietly watched from the sidelines, you’ve helped make Studio Yellow what it is today.👍🏻

I’d love for you to come along, raise a glass, and celebrate together.🙏

💛 Here’s to 10 years of creativity, connection, wellbeing, and friendship... and to whatever comes next.🍍

Finger food provided. Drinks available for purchase at the bar. 💛

I’d love to celebrate this special milestone with as many Studio Yellow friends as possible, so I f you’d like to come along, simply comment below or send me a message, and I’ll share the event details with you. 💛

It’s all about fun and friendship! I’ve been an active member of @cerocclubbrisbane since one year after my husband passed away!!! The best decision ever… arriving that very first night for the Beginners class. It’s hard to dance in a CROW costume so I’ve included a pic of the accessories I wore … the home made mask, feather boa, wings, wrist band with my lunch attached 🐁, as well as my soon to born baby crows 🐦‍⬛ 🤣🤣🤣🤣💃🕺

I’ve never entirely embraced the way Halloween has been adopted here in Australia, but I do love my pumpkins. Both were hand-built from clay during my art college days. One has spent years in the garden, moving with me from house to house, while the other, raku-fired and finished with a hand-crafted leather vine and leaves, lives happily indoors as an ornament 🎃.
Billy, however, seems to be all in on Halloween. 🐾🐾 As for me, I’ve spent part of today making accessories for my costume. Not because of the theme, necessarily, but because it’s a fun creative challenge and I fully intend to dance the night away @cerocclubbrisbane . 🎃💃 If you ever want to know more about the benefits of art or dancing (as a hobby) please reach out!! Both have helped me enormously… as I’ve learned to rebuild my life after loss!!! 🤫 My costume for tonight remains a secret for now. 🤣💃💃 #hobbiesareimportant #cavoodlelife #lifeafterloss #artclassesforadults #dancinglife

A bit of a theme accidentally happened in the studio this week!! I couldn’t believe it when two clients wore exactly the same boots on the same day!!! Must be because of all the rain we’ve had!! 🥾👢🤣 @merrypeople #artideas #artclassesforadults #inspirationeverywhere #makefriends #artistherapy
