July Newsletter

Thank you again for your patience regarding art classes. My hand is still recovering, but I am ready to go as far as classes are concerned - classes will resume as normal this week.

Classes & Workshops
Go to the "Learn" tab on the website menu to find out what's on offer. Upcoming classes are now up and ready for booking. There are some additional workshops and retreats online, so have a look to see what is coming up. The upcoming drawing 101 and drawing 102 classes are now full and starting next week. I have scheduled a new drawing 101 class starting on Saturday mornings on the first of August. If you'd like to do this course and Saturday mornings don't work for you, let me know and I will see what I can do. Due to drawing 102 classes happening on Wednesday evenings, I have dropped the kids classes on Wednesday afternoons for now. If that is a problem for you, let me know. Thursday evening kids classes are still going ahead and due to start next week. I have not yet scheduled a retreat for October or November, so if there is something you'd like to do, let me know and I will schedule it for you.
Don't forget that you can do a no obligation one time trial lesson (term time classes only) for $20. Currently, that includes Cultivating Creativity for adults and Kids term time classes. To book individual sessions online, payment is required at the time of booking. If you are booking a block, then you can opt to pay at the first session you attend. You can book for individual sessions, 2, 5 or 10 sessions - whichever works for you and don't forget you can use Afterpay if you'd like. As always, get in contact if you don't see what you are looking for.
The following is a list of classes currently available. Click on the title of the class to go to more information about it and to book.

Don't forget I have recently released my book which looks at patriarchy - where it is from, how it has affected me and society in general, what has perpetuated it, reduce its impact on society. It puts forward my solution to the mess the world is currently in.
Open Studio
I will be hosting an open studio on the third Sunday of every month going forward (with some alterations to allow for Christmas etc), starting in August. These days will generally align with retreats, and you are most welcome to drop in and have a look around. If you are looking for a unique hand-made gift, this would undoubtedly suit you. Shop local, shop hand made.
Store
Shipping is now free for all orders over $50, $5 for delivery in the local area; and $10 flat rate for standard shipping anywhere else in Australia.
Featured Product: Flight of the Red Tail

Flight of the Red Tail
Flight of the Red Tail is a vibrant celebration of the magnificent endangered Red Tailed Cockatoo, skillfully brought to life through mixed media with collage, acrylic, and resin on a deep canvas. This 40cm wide by 30cm high artwork captures the dynamic grace of the bird in flight, infusing any space with energy and color. Perfectly ready to hang, it brightens any room while inspiring you to explore and express your own visual language.

Meaningful Coincidence
This month in the blog, we invite you to explore the profound beauty of synchronicity. More than just a coincidence, it is a dance of timing and inspiration that shapes both the art we create and the lives we lead. Step into a world where meaningful connections spark creativity and wonder at every turn.
