Client Testimonial
“I have learnt so many new skills & techniques; am able to be aware of but not so dictated by negative thought patterns that can hinder creativity and self-expression (with mindful presence & gentle, supportive affirmations); have been inspired to create on a regular basis and felt supported in how to achieve this.”

“I’m enjoying being in my own art world. It’s part of my life that I will continue to “play” in because there’s more than painting happening. I’m being gentle with myself and loving every moment in my little studio. It is in the doing that I move into a space where time doesn’t matter and I am just here enjoying.”
-Jan Nunn
