About Studio Yellow

It’s all about fun and friendship! I’ve been an active member of @cerocclubbrisbane since one year after my husband passed away!!! The best decision ever… arriving that very first night for the Beginners class. It’s hard to dance in a CROW costume so I’ve included a pic of the accessories I wore … the home made mask, feather boa, wings, wrist band with my lunch attached 🐁, as well as my soon to born baby crows 🐦‍⬛ 🤣🤣🤣🤣💃🕺

I’ve never entirely embraced the way Halloween has been adopted here in Australia, but I do love my pumpkins. Both were hand-built from clay during my art college days. One has spent years in the garden, moving with me from house to house, while the other, raku-fired and finished with a hand-crafted leather vine and leaves, lives happily indoors as an ornament 🎃.
Billy, however, seems to be all in on Halloween. 🐾🐾 As for me, I’ve spent part of today making accessories for my costume. Not because of the theme, necessarily, but because it’s a fun creative challenge and I fully intend to dance the night away @cerocclubbrisbane . 🎃💃 If you ever want to know more about the benefits of art or dancing (as a hobby) please reach out!! Both have helped me enormously… as I’ve learned to rebuild my life after loss!!! 🤫 My costume for tonight remains a secret for now. 🤣💃💃 #hobbiesareimportant #cavoodlelife #lifeafterloss #artclassesforadults #dancinglife

A bit of a theme accidentally happened in the studio this week!! I couldn’t believe it when two clients wore exactly the same boots on the same day!!! Must be because of all the rain we’ve had!! 🥾👢🤣 @merrypeople #artideas #artclassesforadults #inspirationeverywhere #makefriends #artistherapy

Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
🍍“I should be better by now.”
🍍“Art should be easy for someone my age.”
🍍“Everyone else is making better art than me.”

It feels so convincing — like your artistic ability somehow reflects your intelligence or worth. But really, you’re just being hard on yourself during a completely normal stage of the creative journey.

Progress isn’t linear. Style isn’t discovered on a schedule. Growth doesn’t follow a timeline.

What you’re actually doing is learning, experimenting, becoming, and building the foundations that every artist needs. You’re not behind — you’re in the middle of becoming who you’re meant to be creatively.

Don’t give up. Don’t rush yourself. Don’t let an imaginary timeline steal your joy.

Keep showing up. Keep making marks. Keep exploring. Your style and confidence will emerge from the work you’re doing right now — not from wishing you were already there.

You’re not late. You’re evolving. And that’s exactly what we are all supposed to be doing.

👉 So, keep going — and if you need support, join me at Studio Yellow.

Rain, wind, a tiny bit of sunshine, reading, dinner’s out, dancing 💃🕺!! We don’t get the opportunity to go away very often so we just made the best it (and everything Burleigh Heads had to offer). It’s good for the soul to take a break from your usual routine… even if it’s a mini break!!! There is nothing like the feeling of sand between your toes and salty wind in your hair! Add great company and good coffee and it’s easy to believe all is good in the world… at least for a while. 👍🏻💛
