'Stardust'
Cross terrain-teaching led to establishing Sienna in 2015. With hard work and great popularity in numbers, Studio Art participation has become the central heart. The school began with 7 students and two classes, one for children and the other adults. By its third year, 10 classes were with full enrolment. Over time The Holistic Arts & Healing initiatives, connecting Lifestyle, Energy appreciation and Understanding through exhibition practice - have become a key to Appreciating Individuals in the Energy.
16 Years of Experience in Education has included positions & programs across the Schools Sector & Community sector.
Through Sienna Art Space she has also developed rapport with other venues and groups - including private tuition and loving relationships to learning with many gorgeous down to earth souls along the way.
Throughout her teaching Career, she has had the pleasure of creating outsourced programs and Initiating Adults, as well as Teens & Child Studio programs. 'The Art Filament' is Sienna Art Space's series of current Distance Adults Courses, with the Diploma of Art 2 year attainment.
You can read more about The Art Filament and the 3 Adults Courses here.

Bird Song Oracle
In my willow charcoal works, the lightest of powder is a soft-quiet appreciation in the quiet space in which I work – The particle interactive consciousness is an awareness of simple and more complex, unspoken-about spiritual connections. In production, I am working on a return to flight concepts away from the willow charcoal, and utilizing the soft to more subtle & vibrant colour availabilities of soft pastel( charcoal’s sister ). The incredible colour resonance of bird life becomes focus.
The word ‘selah’ conjures up all the sensory knowing of the ‘ineffable divine’, esoteric-window availabilities – it is an undefined relationship as it involves the shapeshifting sensation in consciousness, our ‘rock’ as physical, living vehicle in situational soul-breath, shift cognition & “of, as spirit”. This I offer as an descriptive interpretation, relational and just that,an ‘offering’.
In the series of images, I explore the cresting-birth to winged, flight territory. The Bird Oracle gives honesty to felt alignment to all that exists in feature and with appreciation for archetypal light – rendition.
The extract to knowing hearts reveal in the above interpretation, is the also quiet appreciation of what I intend and plan to image in my upcoming deck.
A love of liberation, freedom and strength is a Bird call.
" We are of duality, flying – non-restrictive bloom [ constructive ]; actively confident with life zest and active faith. As substance, our gravitation circumstance is in the earth realm and we are in the presence of the soul.
From Sound Call and response, air-born mystique & close, intimate presence - I give pictorial address to all of the abstractions. "
Primordial Orange & The Ultramarine
Individual page selections from the
Big Book Fine Art Oracle,
Primordial Orange & The Ultramarine.
"The enrichment of the 'digest' and multi-level 'appreciation' goes beyond Cultural storytelling, social entertainment and age-directive, directed scripts.
I dance with resonance (kaleidoscope),.. with colour, I find my cognizant appreciation (solace musing-moment), I am rhythmic student in drum (delighted) and I voyage to all of your symbols (listen)... We share soulful dialogues."
