About Studio Yellow

Having art in my life helps me in infinite ways. 💛 I see beauty and potential in the original everyday things I see as I go about my day. 💛 I look forward to starting or finishing arty projects! 💛 I have a sense of awe about the world instead of a sense of doom. 💛 I feel excited about my future, because I know I have so much more to learn and so many ideas to bring to fruition. 🎉 If you feel like your life is lacking ‘something’, even if you’re not sure if art is your thing, it’s time to at least give it a go!! Start now, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, then, when you’re ready to make your art feel easier and look better… work with me!! #artcoach #artmentor #artteacher #artclasses #artmakeslifebetter

Hobbies are more important than most people give them credit for.

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, hobbies create psychological breathing room!!!!

Enjoyable, creative tasks (that are not tied to making money) remind your nervous system that every waking moment doesn’t need to be productive.

Hobbies have been shown to lower stress, enhance your mood and improved overall well-being, which makes total sense to me, because making art helped me through my most emotional days, when I became a widow at the age of 44. 💔

Remember, we are not designed to be on high alert all of the time, yet in this day and age, it’s hard to just switch off!

That’s why I teach art classes to adults…so I can share what I learned from 30 years teaching art in schools, and mix in with all the relevant bits and bobs I’ve learned from my life experiences (wife, mother and widow). Then I add a dash of mindset coaching (from 16 years of learning about mental health in the aftermath of my husband’s suicide) and the 1000s of individual personalities I’ve taught since the late 1080s.

I understand WHY making art is important so I aim to deliver high quality art experiences with respect and empathy for every client. Beginners love the structure of my lessons and those with more art experience love my individualised approach and open ended content. 💛 Not sure if you have what it takes to be an artist?? 🤔 Let’s have a conversation about why your art matters!

I’m officially back at work today after a lovely break, spent mostly in Sydney. I relished the spent time with my family the most, but the main purpose of my trip was to mind Max, the ever snuffling #frenchbulldog 🤔 Archie, my other #grandpuppy, also got some of my attention! Today, I prepare the studio and focus on admin! Tomorrow, my in-person classes begin (Module 103 of my Art Mentoring Program).
