About Studio Yellow

On September 11, 2009, my world was shattered. Today, I have bought myself flowers and with the help of AI, I have written my name in the sand! This year RUOK DAY coincides with the 16th anniversary of my husband’s passing… and I am okay!! These days my grief is invisible to others 99% of the time, but on the big dates, it bubbles up very close to the surface. Today I was even tempted to have lunch at MacDonalds (where we first met) but luckily I didn’t succumb. 🤮😂 So… always hug your loved ones and tell them how much they matter. Show empathy and kindness to everyone around you. Take a moment to check in on your own wellbeing, and remember to be grateful for everything you DO have. 💛🌼 #widowedbysuicide #ruokday #mentalhealthawareness #tellpeoplehowyoufeel #takeactionnow 💛 #selfcareeveryday #youmattertome #griefrecovery

I agree with Paulus...An art journal isn’t just a book – It CAN be your portable art studio, your safe space to relax, explore ideas, and play with art materials, without the pressure of producing ‘works of art’. 🎨💡

That’s why I developed my Art Mentoring Program! I teach real art skills to help you start journaling your thoughts and ideas. I help you unlock that creative freedom so you can trust your intuition and let inspiration flow. What you learn and practise in a journal can be applied to larger works too!

Begin your journey toward a happier, healthier life by art journaling, by letting me be your guide and mentor. 💛 Enrolments are now open for my upcoming 4-week module, with limited places available in all three groups. Jump onto my website to learn more or send me a message and I’ll send you the direct link. #createyourhappy #artjournaleveryday #artjournalideas #expressyou #letitout #creativityunleashed #skillsforlife #lifelonglearner #artmentor #artteachers #artclassesforadults #weekdayartclass

This unfinished project by one of my clients is a great example of how open-ended my weekly classes are!! Everyone in the group is allowed to create something unique. My job is to spark your ideas, and help you to understand how to bring things together. I teach you how to combine elements and create harmonious composition! I use@my 30+ years of teaching experience to help you build your confidence and overcome self doubt. There is no better feeling than being able to do something you love and being happy with the outcome. All levels are welcome! My next module of the Art Mentoring Program starts in October. It’s the perfect place to begin the artistic chapter of your life… the chapter where positivity is possible, self-care is normal and the future feels bright. It’s TIME! Remember, opportunities don’t just happen, you have to create them. #artmentor #startyourjourney #timeforachange #healthychoices #healingafterloss #naturaltherapy #artclassesforadults #proudteacher

It’s my aim to spread a little happiness by helping people learn skills that build their creative thinking skills AND their mental health and happiness. I can’t count how many people have told me that taking up art as a hobby has changed their life for the better. We all need a creative outlet as a way to feed our inner child! If you have regrets about how long it’s been since you did something fun or you’ve NEVER had the opportunity to learn art in the past, one afternoon in my studio will rectify that! Check out what’s on offer between now and the end of November, when I’ll be taking a break for my birthday month (December). Imagine having a new skill to practice during the holiday season! Go to my website now, and make your selection. Any questions? Contact me via a private message and I promise to get in touch. #beinspired🌟 #inspireothers #nutureyourself #familydiscount #artmakesmehappy #healnaturally

I see why Vincent Van Gogh continued to paint his sunflowers, even after they wilted… there is so much to see! So many shapes and variations of colour! My quick pencil sketch got so complicated I had to add some colour to help make some sense of which shapes were leaves and which were petals. #complicated 😅Even if I only drew flowers for the rest of my days, I’d never be bored! But why stick with flowers when there are so many other options 🤯. Art is so #satisfying ! #sunflowersofinstagram #hobbiesareimportant #keepslifeinteresting #studynature #learntodraw #drawingisfun
