Why I’m Leaving My Cowes Studio - A New Chapter Begins!
Jan 04, 2026
After almost three wonderful years in my studio in Cowes, I’ve made the heartfelt decision to leave and step into a brand-new chapter.
It’s weird… but mostly, it feels right.
When I first joined Clay and Co. in the studio, I had no idea how much I would grow, how many people I would meet, or how many creative dreams would start there. It became my sanctuary, my playground, my classroom, and the place where so many of you walked through the door and trusted me with your creativity.
Over nearly three years, I have:
Participated in many awesome makers markets
Created my very own product range using my artwork
Expanded my commission and pet portrait client list
Hosted countless workshops including paint and sips
And last year… I held my solo exhibition in September, something I having been wanting to do for a while. I have held other exhibitions previously in the Melbourne area but not on Phillip Island.
So yes… my studio has seen a lot of growth, learning, joy, and paint splatters!
So Why Am I Moving On?
Because I’m ready.
Ready for more space, more freedom, more reach, and more connection.
I want to reach the women who need creativity, confidence and connection.
My creative life is expanding, and my business is expanding with it.
Online is where I can:
Teach more people
Share more inspiration
Build a stronger creative community
Make art more accessible, playful and joyful for everyone
This next chapter feels spacious. It feels exciting.
It feels like… the right next step.
