ARTUITION Studio is a homely Private Therapeutic Arts Studio,

I have loved creating as long as I can remember. As a highly sensitive, creative child with anxiety, I engaged with drawing, painting, writing, sewing and dancing as cathartic tools for self-expression.

I dreamed of continuing art after high-school, but I wasn’t accepted into art school then, so I studied and practiced Education instead.

However my love for creativity never waned and I passionately reignited my art career in my early 20’s, moving from working abroad in London, to Melbourne to study art at Box Hill Tafe, RMIT and later Art Therapy with The MIECAST Institute.

Since then my studies in visual art, art therapy and education, have continued to weave my creative offerings.

In my 40’s, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. Finally my sensitivities, insatiable creativity and intuitive, felt-sense processing began to make sense. I could finally begin to thrive, with better understanding of my unique needs, creative brain and nervous system.

I completed my Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice with Specialisation in Research, enabling me skills to practice as a qualified Art Therapist, and create meaningful change through Arts-Based Research, within my chosen field of Autistic/ADHD sensory perception and processing. In the future, I would love to go on to do my PHD in Therapeutic Arts Research, something I never would have dared to dream! of

Moral of the story - keep leaning into your passions and curiosities as meaningful tools for self-discovery, that way you can enjoy the process of unfolding as you reach your goals 🎨🫶🏽💫
