About Studio Yellow

Studio Yellow is the place to learn how to make art. Whatever your previous Art experience, I can teach you how to use lots of different art materials and guide you through exciting and achievable activities to open your heart to the wonderful world of creativity.

I understand that making art is a great way to maintain good mental health and connect with the community. I know making art is therapeutic and I know art-making can be a soothing hobby and/or a new source of income.

When you do things that bring value and enjoyment to your life, it benefits everyone around you as well.

Don’t wait for ‘one day’. Change the way you think and feel about your life by booking a class with me today.

The Studio is located in Manly West, Brisbane.

It’s a GOOD FRIDAY for printmaking!! I love ‘alone time’ with my art supplies…Wishing you all a wonderful 4 day break. It’s a time to rest and recharge. Remember, if you have trouble relaxing, focus all your energy on something creative so you’ll discover the power of mindfulness. Art is a form of #activemeditation 🧘
Hopefully, over the Easter break, you will use some of the time to release any built up stress and generally rest and recuperate. Dabbling with your art supplies is a great way to start… so remember, whatever you create, good or bad, your artwork matters. What doesn’t matter, is how it turns out. It’s okay if the results disappoint you because making art is not always about making something to show off to others!! Dabbling in art is all about how it makes YOU feel so #justdoit . Allow yourself to enjoy the process. The technical side can be developed later. #dowhatmatters #dabble #play #makeamess #makeanything #bebravebeyou #recuperate #eastercrafts
Say hello to Wayne! He’s recently retired and reigniting his love of art after many, many years. Men are always welcome at #studioyellow . In fact, I started this business because I wanted to help men! My late husband who died by suicide in 2009, was a very creative person who loved art and was very good at it. He was even accepted into Seven Hills Art College (now closed) using a portfolio he put together himself after NOT even studying art as a subject in Senior. Unfortunately he didn’t accept the placement, on advice from his parents who wanted him to choose a career that would earn him more money. I believe now that if he had been able to follow his passion, he would have had a better chance of managing his mental health. Instead he became a civil designer…mostly doing lots of maths, and was always #toobusy to have a creative hobby. Studio Yellow is all about nurturing mental health and wellbeing through art! I don’t want others to ever feel hopeless (like my late husband) and I know art and creativity really helps!! I’ve always had art in my life but during the early stages of my grief I learned firsthand the therapeutic value of having art as a hobby. I teach adults Art because it’s the best way I know of being mindful, and being appreciative of all that is good and beautiful in the world. It’s helped me get through the trauma of becoming a widow, and the transition into my new life as a sole parent. If anyone you know is who is struggling to find any joy in their day to day life, please share this post. No prior art experience is needed to get started. At any age, and at every stage of life, you will feel better when you see the world through an artistic lens. #tryitandsee #retiredlife #artclassesformen #artclassesformentalhealth #arttherapyworkshop #artistherapy🎨 #lifeismagical #findingyourself #treatyoubetter #whatsoninbrisbane

I get so caught up in teaching and interacting with my clients that I sometimes I forget to take photos. These are the only pics I took on Saturday during my Nature Journaling workshop. I threw in a surprise pic at the end, just because!!!! 💗🐾 Everyone did so well, learning how to draw, what to draw with (all the various portable art materials), and more importantly WHY to draw nature. If you’re interested in attending this workshop next time it comes around, please contact me so I can gauge the demand (and let you know when a new date is set) . With all the weekend workshop topics, your communications with me helps me to decide how soon to repeat them. #naturejournals #drawingclasses #learntodraw #sketch_book #naturenurtures
