Hi, I’m Kylie - an artist, author and wellbeing educator who believes creativity is for everyone.

Through my Paint & Sip classes for adults and Paint & Singalong and Creative Workshops for children, I create welcoming, relaxed art experiences for groups across Sydney and the Northern Beaches. Classes are hosted at my Bayview Boathouse Art Studio for intimate groups, or delivered as mobile pop-up events for larger gatherings at venues to suit.

I cater for small private groups from 6 people right through to large events of up to 100 guests, making my classes ideal for birthdays, hens nights, corporate team building, fundraiser events, Christmas parties, wellbeing workshops and family celebrations.

Most people arrive believing they “can’t paint” and watching them leave proud, relaxed and surprised by what they’ve created is the greatest joy of my work. Painting has a beautiful way of quietening the mind, building confidence and creating meaningful moments of connection.

Alongside my classes, I create and publish wellbeing books, card decks and mindset resources for children and adults, blending art with positive psychology. These resources are often used by families, teachers and therapists to support calm, connection and positive daily rituals.

I also run Kids Creative Workshops, using art and craft to gently teach values such as gratitude, kindness and a positive mindset helping children develop emotional awareness and resilience through creativity.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me painting large canvases for galleries, inspired by boats, coastal scenes and life’s beautiful moments. I also love creating commissioned artworks that capture special people, places and memories.

I’ve been painting and publishing wellbeing resources for over 15 years, and hold a Working With Children Check (WWC1145596E) and a Mindful Educator Essentials Certificate from Mindful Schools USA.

If I had the time, I’d paint everything beautiful I see and I love helping others discover that same joy through art.

Meet Kylie Johnson

Inspired by her grandma’s love of art, when Kylie Johnson picked up a paintbrush over a decade ago she quickly realised what all the fuss was about.

Eager to share this with others, Kylie converted her home office in to a sun-filled art studio by the water, a casual space for people to switch off and try something new. Whether it be corporate teams or an aged care group, she believes spending a few hours surrounded by paints, music and waves is therapeutic for everyone.

Ready to blend and swirl paint? Kylie invites you to her colourful paint and sip classes to discover your new favourite way to find calm.

My passion for painting started when…

Paint and sip class

“I found the therapeutic benefits of being lost in painting for six hours in a day. It was a form of meditation and a mindful activity.”

Step inside my studio and you will…

“Find paints, music and wine together and that in itself is a therapeutic and fun experience. I also have a studio puppy and she is just puppy therapy. She gives plenty of cuddles and playtime.”

My top tip for first-timers is…

Painting classes

“You don't have to be an artist to paint. Anybody can. Painting is satisfying and joyful and I believe that everybody is creative in their own way if they allow themselves to give it a go.”

Painting is for everyone…

Painting workshop

“I’ve had cancer patients come here as a celebration that they beat chemo and survived. I've had 80 year old widows come and say they’ve always wanted to paint. People will also bring their parents here not knowing where they were going. Or on a date night, where the boyfriend will surprise his girlfriend. So, all different ages and occasions. It's just fantastic!”

You’ll leave my workshops feeling…

Paint and sip classes

“Enlightened and joyful! I think it's the people that say they can't paint but they walk out going, ‘Wow, I did this’—they're quite proud of themselves that they're able to do something and let go of their own judgment.”
