Solshine Arts

Solshine Arts At Solshine Arts we believe that art and creativity are organic and natural within every one of us. I have been involved in the arts my whole life.

My name is Louise Bastos and I’m a creative workshops facilitator. I'm Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapist and Counsellor (HICAT). I use art as a healing tool for you to feel more connected and relaxed: mentally, emotionally and physically. In 2020, I started working with mindful arts & crafts workshops and have already helped dozens of people to connect with their creativity. I’m also a resident artist at a famous Sip N’ Paint studio in Noosa, teaching painting classes to hundreds of guests monthly. I'm a creative soul that loves connecting with people and I believe in exploring creativity in a holistic way. I welcome everyone to my art healing space, and I am proud to offer a safe environment for people with different backgrounds. I’m looking forward to meeting you and celebrating creativity together, schedule for sessions will be opening soon, stay tuned. I facilitate sessions in English and Portuguese, whatever works better for you.

First time painting a Kookaburra in large scale — this iconic Aussie bird has such a cheeky, joyful spirit, and I’m loving every second of bringing it to life 🥰

What do we think so far?? 👀

✨RESILIENCE ✨ Meet the Brazilian jaguar — guardian of the in-between.
She carries the spirit of intuition, protection, and quiet power. A reminder to trust the path ahead, even when it winds through the unknown.

This piece holds the essence of resilience — the kind that grows in the dark and shines fiercely in the light.
A tribute to the wild strength within us all.

✨ ‘Resilience’ will be available at the In Good Company Exhibition ✨ Hosted by — from 27th November to 05th January.

Come see her in person and feel her energy up close. Big love, Lou

“Seeds of becoming” and “She blooms” make such a beautiful duo, it’s like they were created for each other 🥰 Don’t you agree? Two paintings that celebrate the divine feminine 🤍 and have this beautiful orange colour uplifts the energy of any space. They make the perfect end of the year gift for yourself or your love ones. Bring art with meaning inside your space. It makes all the difference 🙌🏼 Have a great day, big love, Lou

A few glimpses of a happy person in her happy place 🥰
I just found out that today is Teacher’s Day in Australia, and I’d love to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate this beautiful profession. No matter what subject or skill you teach, as long as you’re sharing your knowledge and love with others, that’s what truly matters. 💛

I absolutely love teaching what I know, and I have so much respect and appreciation for all the incredible teachers I’ve had — and for everyone who dedicates their life to helping others learn and grow. 🙏✨

Here’s to all the teachers out there — you make the world a more inspired place! 🌏💫
