For women, engaging in an art class isn’t just about learning new techniques or creating beautiful pieces; it’s about rediscovering a part of ourselves that can sometimes get lost in the daily hustle. Here are some ideas around embracing your creativity and how I can help you on your creative journey.
Art provides a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you’re painting, drawing, or experimenting with mixed media, you have the freedom to express what’s on your mind without judgement. For women, who often juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, art offers a vital outlet to connect with your inner self and voice your unique perspective. It is a sanctuary for self expression.
Creating art can be incredibly empowering. As you develop your skills and see your work come to life, your confidence naturally grows. Art classes encourage experimentation and embracing imperfections, helping women to realise that beauty and worth aren’t about perfection but about authenticity. This newfound confidence can spill over into other areas of life, inspiring you to pursue new goals and challenges. It is an easy way to boost your confidence and self esteem.
Joining an art class means becoming part of a community of like-minded women who share your passion. It’s a wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships, share ideas, and learn from others’ experiences. This sense of belonging can be especially meaningful, providing encouragement and motivation to keep creating and growing.
Creating art is a mindful activity that helps you stay present and focused. It’s a form of meditation that can reduce stress, improve mental health, and promote overall wellbeing. For women balancing work, family, and personal commitments, carving out time for art can be a vital form of self care.
Many women put their creative dreams aside, believing they’re not “artistic enough” or simply not having the time.
Art classes can help you break through those mental barriers and rediscover your innate creativity. Whether you want to paint for fun, craft unique home decor, or explore new artistic avenues, these classes can be the spark that reignites your passion and proves the nay sayers and your inner critic wrong.
MY STORY
As a child I loved to colour in. I enjoyed art but decided to pursue Design & Technology in high school as I wasn’t a fan of the art teacher. When I left school, I was a Nanny for 3 years and attended local community college courses while the kids were at school or asleep. I created here and there but never anything serious.
When I had my second son, I enrolled in an online art class that showed me the power of healing through art. I was hooked. This class taught me to paint faces, and I have never looked back. I am not an artist who creates art just to look pretty. I paint intuitively, never knowing what is going to come out until it is complete. I sit with it and see what message comes through. My subconscious is always reminding me I have been inside too long and need to get out in nature, or I am working too hard and need to have some fun or I need to reconnect with my partner or kids. These messages are universal, so that is what I want to pass on to you - something beautiful for your wall and a reminder of how fabulous you are.
Art has helped me through major life events and is something I will always come back to. It is freeing, challenging and exciting.
WHY I TEACH ART CLASSES FOR WOMEN
My mission is to create a space where women can explore their creativity freely, learn new skills, and connect with others on a similar journey. I believe that every woman deserves to experience the joy and empowerment that comes with making art. My classes are designed to be welcoming, inspiring, and tailored to women of all skill levels whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your techniques. I love to create communities of women who lift each other up and cheer each other on. My classes are always more than an art class. They are full of heart.
CLASSES I OFFER
Creative Alchemy: Small group class 9.30-11.30am on Thursdays during school term. This class is for women who feel like there is something more out there. They are curious about full moons, crystals, oracle cards and nature. Each week we have a different prompt often lead by a guided relaxation, learnings or discussion and create an artwork around that. It is a mixed media class so you will learn to use lots of different art supplies. It is a beautiful group of women who support each other.
Art journalling: 1 Sunday a month 1-3pm. Check the event for dates. It is a small group and more than an art class. We have a prompt each month and start with a guided meditation. It is a mixed media class so you will learn to use lots of different art supplies. This class is not about the end result. It is about connecting to your thoughts and what you need. It is about the process you go through in those 2 hours. You will feel lighter, confident and more in touch with your intuition. You can book into one class or become a regular and come each month. First time students receive an art journal to work in and take home.
One on one: If group classes are not your thing, this could be perfect for you. We can have a chat and talk about what you would like to learn and I will tailor a class for you.
Connect With Me: This class is for those wanting to have fun and make memories with their partner, friends or family. It is for ages 4 and up. It could be a Grandpa and their grandchild, a mother and daughter, best friends. Maybe you need some me time and want to book your kids in so you can go and have a coffee. Or maybe you have been so busy, the whole family wants to come and create together. Maybe life is getting in the way of girl time and you want to have a laugh with your friends.
We can have a chat and talk about what you would like to learn and I will tailor a class for you. I have lots of suggestions based on who is coming so don’t think you have to have something specific.
