Weekend creative expression…

Starting with repainted wooden blocks and curiosity…
ending with three unexpected visitors: a peacock, an eagle, and a deer.

A reminder of the beauty that can emerge when we create without pressure — and let the process speak first.

✨ Studio Window Reset – Summer Water Worlds ✨

Our studio window has been gently reset into a summer water theme — a sensory invitation inspired by the warmer days and the way water can soothe, regulate, and open imagination.

Inside the window are three small therapeutic worlds:

🌊 Ocean World — mermaids, treasure and underwater landscapes for wonder, depth, and adventure
🏖️ Pool Fun — playful scenes of drinks, floaties and selfies for joy, connection, and lightness
🌳 Park & Pond — picnic moments, still water and gentle nature scenes for rest, safety, and calm

Water can be a symbol of regulation, emotion, movement and renewal. As Melbourne heats up, we wanted the studio window to reflect something that can visually “cool” the nervous system, while offering different emotional doorways — excitement, playfulness, or quiet ease.

Which world would you choose today?

Next time you walk past, take a moment to notice which scene your body and imagination are drawn to. Our choices often tell a story. ✨

Today in the studio, Brianna and I gave the art table a little glow-up 🌈

No big plan.
No mood board.
Just colours, curiosity, and a “let’s see what happens” kind of energy.

We moved things around, added splashes of fun, followed what felt good, and let the table become whatever it wanted to become.

And honestly… it was so much fun.

A little reminder that not everything has to start with a concept.
Sometimes the magic is in just going for it.
Hands in. Colours out. Trusting the process.

The studio feels extra happy tonight 💛✨

Spending a little birthday break in Dromana because I’m turning the big 5-0!
Took a wander down to Rosebud today and found these amazing 3D earrings by — total mermaid magic. 🧜‍♀️✨
Thank you Natalie, it was so lovely meeting you and your mum!
Charlie is hanging with me in this pic as we head back to our cosy spot with my lil fam… and of course, a stash of art supplies. 🎨💛
Feeling grateful, colourful and almost fifty!

We have a new little friend in the studio now! She’s a little shy and may blend in with her surroundings sometimes! But if you look closely you will spot her! ………What should we name her? 🌈

✨ Feeling truly blessed to have such a calming, creative space where I can be my absolute self. 🌈🎨

It’s been a while since I’ve given myself the gift of just experimenting — painting intuitively, starting with no plan, just colour. Today I tried oil paints for the very first time, with my beautiful therapy dog-in-training Charlie 🐾 by my side, and let myself sink into my own little world.

This is what emerged. 💫 It’s been glorious.

Here’s to finding more pockets of for and for anyone who needs a moment to breathe, play, and create. 🌸
