About Studio Yellow

I started with a simple wooden shape from a Dollar store and found hours of mindfulness! Art can be everything… a large oil painting on an expensive canvas, a paper collage, a hand-carved relief print, a delicate charcoal drawing or a black line tracing with added patterns and colours, but how do you know what you enjoy doing the most if you only stick to one thing? Or worse, you spend your time envying the work of others instead of getting started yourself?? I specialise is helping adults get started. With me, beginners discover the wide range of options that exist. You’ll be amazed at how much information and support you get when you’re participating in my Art Mentoring program. I’ve been filling 3 groups a week since 2018, because my clients love the format, the content and my approach to teaching. Every week brings you different art challenges and over time, your progress accumulates so you’ll have the confidence to enjoy all kind of arty projects for the rest of your life. Contact me today to join the last module for 2025, or send me your expression of interest for 2026. I’m here to share my professional experience (over 30 years, teaching art in school) and my lived experience with mental health, because I want you to love every precious moment of your life. #artlessons #artmatters #hobbiesareimportant #selfcareessentials #loveyourlifeorchangeit #artmentor #qualifiedteacher I care because I was #widowedbysuicide 🥲💛

If you’ve been thinking, “I really want to do ART… but…” I get it.

It’s natural to have hesitations about something you haven’t done in a long while (or never at all).  

Let me help you with that!!

Stop overthinking.
Stop waiting for the perfect time.
Stop worrying that even if you do start, you’ll be terrible at it.

Every person who has ever signed up to do something completely new started with feelings of doubt, but I believe in you and the quality of my Art Mentoring Program!

Instead of struggling on your own, take the next step and book your spot today to start as soon as tomorrow. 👍🏻 Remember, I’m always available to chat with you so if you have questions, just contact me to arrange a time. The final 4-week module for 2025 starts this week… Tuesday mornings, Wednesday evenings or Thursday mornings! Choose the group that suits your schedule the best and book via my website. #artmentoring #artclassesforadults #brisbaneartclasses #manlywest #artteachers #learntobecreative #enjoythemoment❤️

Sunday! Time to breathe. Time to rest. Time to notice how well my cute little ornamental pineapple is doing. 🍍🪴 I hope you’ve make time to recharge your battery today. Remember it’s ok to be unproductive sometimes. #reclaimingmytime #restisproductive #selfcareisnotselfish #stoprushing #miniaturepineapple #ornamentalpineapple #selfcaresundays

The final 4-week block of weekly classes for 2025 (Module 108), starts this week. This is a chance for you to get inspired and live a more creative life in the lead up to the silly season! Relax over the holidays with your art supplies, feeling quietly confident about what you’re doing. Contact me for more details or by checking out my ART MENTORING PROGRAM. Over December and January there are no scheduled workshops or classes, so if you want to work with me, you’ll need to book a private session. How fast has this year has flown by!???? 🤯 #booknow #contactme #artmentoring #artclassesforadults #hobbiesareimportant #artmentoringprogram #qualifiedteacher

Last night I attended the gala awards dinner. Thank you to everyone who either nominated or voted for Studio Yellow. While I didn’t bring home another trophy, I am grateful and proud to be acknowledged by my local community. It feels like only yesterday that I took a leap of faith and left my secure teaching position at Moreton Bay College to start an art therapy business from scratch. What a rewarding journey it has been. #baysidecommunityawards #wynnum #wynnummanly #supportsmallbusiness #communityiseverything #servingothers #moretonbaycollege
