What we’re about
This group is for anyone who has always wanted to take art lessons and finally decided to do so. After working in schools for the past 30 years, and with my new Diploma of Art Therapy, I have developed a unique teaching system that is more than just learning skills. I know the health benefits of living a creative life. I help people develop their creative side so they can use art-making to learn, grow, heal, make friends and find enjoyment.
In 2009, my husband of 22 years, lost his battle with Depression. My life was turned upside down in an instant! Art became invaluable to me while I grieved and by 2016 I was ready to launch Studio Yellow. I now share what I've learned personally (and professionally) with others because I really believe Art helps to make life worth living.
While everyone is welcome, I started Studio yellow to reach out to adults who feel they really need to start 'ART' from the very beginning. My classes combine everything I know about art materials and techniques with everything I have learnt about fostering creativity from the 100s of students I have taught during my career. As a fully qualified, registered Art teacher, I make every class relaxed and informative so you will learn how to enjoy the creative process in a completely non-judgemental atmosphere. With lots of personal attention, absolute beginners feel particularly supported.
You will meet people who have always had art in their heart, but have had little or no opportunity to learn how to do it. I also run sessions for those with some Art experience who are looking to reignite their confidence or work in a collaborative art space. Our members also meet up socially at Galleries and Exhibition openings and anywhere else that takes our fancy.
My classes are held in Manly West on Brisbane's beautiful bayside on weekdays and Saturdays !! I also offer Corporate workshops such as my '5 Steps to unlock Positive, Proactive and Productive teams'. A full list of classes and workshops are listed on my website (www.studioyellow.com.au).
I love changing lives for the better, through Art as I truly believe all Art is therapy. I urge you to nurture your mental health forever by starting a healthy hobby today!
I look forward to meeting you soon, Natalie

See all- Club Yellow – a networking event for Arty people.Wynnum R.S.L Club, WynnumA$15.00
Do you enjoy art or crafting? If you're a Brisbane artist or maker, join us to meet other creatives and make new friends!
You are invited to join the Club Yellow event as a non-member for only $15.
Just click the "Find Tickets" link in this event to grab your spot now.
If you haven't attended a Club Yellow event before, be assured that all skill levels are welcome as we have a relaxed chat about all things arty to inspire each other to live our best ‘creative’ life.
It is optional, but we would love you to bring some of your artwork (or photos of what you do) for an informal "show and tell."This event also includes a 'SWAP MEET' where participants are encouraged to bring any art supplies (new or pre-loved), they no longer want and offer them for FREE to the people attending. There is no obligation to contribute, but you might pick up something useful from the donations. It's a great way to feel less guilty about unwanted purchases when you want to declutter your art space.
As the founder of Studio Yellow, I'm excited to help creatives connect and thrive through these Club Yellow Networking events.
Please note: (Refreshments are available for purchase at great club prices.)
