The @ucreateartstudio is set, styled and ready for 12 utterly gorgeous ladies to sink into a Galentine’s Brunch Candle Painting experience tomorrow.

Think long chats, clinking glasses, creative flow, belly laughs and that delicious feeling of doing something just for you.

This is my favourite kind of magic — women gathered around a table, creating with their hands, sharing stories, slowing down and filling their cups. No pressure, no perfection… just connection, creativity and joy in its purest form.

If this is your vibe and you’re thinking “we need this” — yes you do 😉
Would you like to book a private workshop for your own group?
Birthdays, Galentines, hens, teams or just-because catch-ups… I’ve got you covered.

Tonight I couldn’t resist drawing one of the illustrations from my twin sister’s newly published children’s book 🐞❤️

Meet Sparky — the gorgeous little ladybug on a mission to help young readers fall in love with reading. Stunning illustrations

My copy is officially on order and I cannot WAIT for it to arrive so I can share with my students.

If you’ve got little people in your world (or just love a feel-good children’s book), go check it out — available on Amazon now.

Okay… this feels HUGE and honestly a little bit full-circle magic

I don’t know how many of you know my creative backstory… but buckle up — because I’m about to start sharing the last 20 years of my creative life with you.

My degree wasn’t just “art school cute.” It was an Honours Degree in Contemporary Art — and it was wild, immersive, multi-disciplinary, rule-breaking magic.

Think: paint + performance + dance + sound + music + big feelings

My work back then? - Live installation pieces. - Creating in real time. - Messy. Expressive......In the moment.

Art with an audience breathing alongside me.
And honestly? - It’s where I felt most alive.
SOOOOOO…

After exhibiting for the past two years at the incredible Brisbane Art & Eats Event, I’ve been invited back this year to do something next level…

A LIVE PAINTING PERFORMANCE. ON STAGE. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
Yep.
Big canvas.
Big brushes.
Big colour.
Music pumping.
Crowd energy.
Total creative chaos (the good kind).

I’ll be painting a large-scale artwork inspired by the sounds, atmosphere and creative buzz of the event — responding in real time, letting the paint fly, trusting instinct, and basically returning to my performance-art roots.

It’s raw. It’s joyful. It’s a little bit scary. And it’s 100% me.
And honestly? .......
I want you there cheering, laughing, soaking it all up with me.
Because art isn’t meant to be watched quietly.
It’s meant to be felt. together.
- Come for the food
- Stay for the vibes
- And watch me throw paint around like my 21-year-old art-school self again

Let’s make it loud, colourful and unforgettable.
See you in the crowd — front row preferred 😉

Saturday 14 March 2026 - community event supporting local artists, with food trucks and bars, live music and dance performances, and a raffle raising funds for Trek2Health. Proudly presented by Ruby Red Jewellery, St Mark’s, and Colin Bushell Photography
BEST OF ALL the event is FREE to attend -

Beautiful Friday night at the studio
Our monthly Create & Connect was pure magic.

These shiny, happy humans got cutting, pasting, painting and dreaming as we created BECOMING Boards to kick-start 2026.

Not quite a vision board…
This is about the now.
Less manifesting
More documenting the actions, ideas and tools you need to BECOME the next version of you.

We started slow —
Brainstorming with words, colours and textures.
Capturing intentions in Polaroids before the magic really began.

Then came the vibe setting
Painting our canvas boards to create a mood, a tone, a feeling.

And finally…
✂️ Cutting
🖋 Stamping
📎 Layering
✨ Transferring
💭 Pulling ideas from magazines, words and symbols
Bringing thoughts to life with our hands.

But the real magic?
Connection.
Sharing stories.
Holding space.
Supporting each other’s next chapter.

✨ Want in? ✨
Our next Create & Connect is coming soon.
Come as you are.
Leave feeling clearer, lighter and creatively fuelled.
💫 Bookings via the website – link in bio 💫

Last night’s U Create Sip & Paint was something really special — Laughing Kookaburra 🤍

Art has always been a way to connect, reflect and share stories. In the lead-up to Australia Day, I was inspired by the native kookaburra — a bird often associated with joy, connection and a deep sense of place.

As an immigrant myself, it felt important to approach this thoughtfully — honouring all Australians while respectfully acknowledging the continuing cultures, stories and custodianship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The pattern work within this piece is a gentle nod to the beauty of Indigenous art traditions — not to replicate, commercialise or claim — but to acknowledge, learn from and recognise the importance of First Nations voices, history and culture.

Painting together last night with big household brushes was pure joy. We leaned into softness and movement, inspired by Bob Ross’ calm, blended approach to colour and atmosphere.

Honestly, one of my favourite pieces I’ve ever taught — for the art, the conversations, and the shared respect in the room.

✨ Want to join me for another beautiful, creative night?
Sip, paint, laugh and unwind at our next U Create Sip & Paint.
Book in for next month and come create with Karen (a genuinely nice Karen, promise 😄) — brushes, good vibes and zero pressure included.

Spots are limited — bookings via the website 💛
