Women-owned

We're a creative hub built on passion, paint, a bit of sawdust, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you're an experienced artist or just dipping your toes into the creative world, our studio is your space to play, explore, and grow.

From hands-on workshops to inspiring Creative Open Studio Days, we offer a chance to try new mediums, learn fresh techniques, and connect with fellow makers. We also stock a carefully curated range of products to keep the creativity flowing even after the class ends.

What started as a simple love for creating – painting, building, capturing moments, and telling stories – quickly turned into something bigger. A shared realization that creating isn’t just a hobby... it’s a bit of an obsession. (In the best way possible!)

And so, Collective Obsessions was born. Two passionate art lovers. One vibrant studio. Endless creative possibilities.

Come join us – let’s make a little magic (and maybe a little mess) together.

Meet the Team:

Rochelle - Owner

Growing up with a creative dad and a crafty mum, it’s no surprise that Rochelle had paint, pencils, and art running through her veins from the get-go. She’s dabbled in everything – from charcoal sketches and fashion design to photography – which totally stole her heart. Capturing special moments and turning them into forever memories? Yep, that was her jam.

These days, Rochelle channels her creative energy into all the things – art, nature-inspired pieces using wood, messy magic with flow art, and of course, guiding others on their own creative adventures. Her passion for art (and life in general) is infectious – in the best way!

She’s fuelled by laughter (usually at Jamie’s expense), her deep love for the ocean… okay, fine, the studio too… and maybe a sneaky slice of her own homemade cake. Because yes – she bakes as well as she paints. Overachiever much?

Rochelle’s favourite thing in the world? Watching someone walk into a workshop thinking they’re “not artistic” – then leaving with a grin and a gorgeous piece they made with their own two hands. She lives for those “OMG I DID THAT?!” moments – and she’ll be your biggest cheerleader every step of the way.

Meet Mean Boss – aka Jamie

Co-Founder & Artist

Affectionately known as Mean Boss (though he’s really just a big softie), Jamie is a creative soul with a love for all things quirky, unique, and a little out of the ordinary. Much like Rochelle, his creative journey started behind the lens – with a keen eye for capturing beauty in the places most people overlook.

But Jamie didn’t stop there. With a deep appreciation for nature, raw materials, and old-school craftsmanship passed down through generations, he ventured into the world of timber – crafting stunning natural furniture pieces with a twist.

These days, Jamie’s creativity knows no bounds. He works with everything from charcoal and resin to acrylics, ink, graphite, and yes still timber – always experimenting, always pushing the boundaries, and always making a bit of a mess and breaking a few things along the way (the fun & okay kind!).

Now that he’s back in the studio, Jamie’s ready to roll up his sleeves and dive headfirst into new creative projects. With his trademark humour, relaxed vibe, and endless ideas, we’re thrilled to have him back doing what he does best – creating magic (and maybe a little mischief) at Collective Obsessions

That’s our story and we THANK you for reading and taking an interest.
