My Story

Following My Creative Heart

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to designing, making, and creating. To me, creativity is infinite — a space with no boundaries. I'm always exploring, learning new techniques, and trying different mediums, led by curiosity and a deep love for the process.

Like many, I’ve found it challenging to let go of the “busyness” of life and make space for creativity. It’s not always easy to carve out the time or find the right headspace — but when I do, I cherish every moment. Before I know it, I’m lost in my own little wonderland, where minutes slip easily into hours.

Creative workshops gave me that space — a moment to pause, connect with others, and return to myself. The experience stayed with me, and I began imagining a studio of my own. A space to share what I’ve learned, to offer others what has been so meaningful for me.

I truly believe in the therapeutic qualities of creativity. Its effects are subtle but powerful. When we create, we connect with something deeply human. It brings balance, supports self-regulation, and fosters a sense of empowerment that comes not from outcomes, but from the act of creating itself.

So many people have been told they’re not creative — but I don’t believe that. Creativity lives in all of us. It’s an innate part of being human. When it’s nurtured, it helps us feel more grounded, more connected, and more at peace.

Back Story

After finishing school, I studied Art & Design at college and worked as a Graphic Designer for over 20 years. Once all the children were school age, I began to explore my own creative practice in painting and ceramics, and with my interests in humanities, led me to study qualifications in both in Art Therapy and Counselling.

I have sinced worked as an art & education facilitator, with certifications in Working With Children, NDIS, and Primary Ethics teaching.

From August 2023 to October 2024, I provided a Therapeutic Art Program across the Tweed & Byron community housing hubs offering creative sessions each week for those displaced by the floods.

In December 2024, I opened my own studio – a space to continue this journey and share the creative process with others.
