Hi there! I’m Iona – an enthusiastic Artist/Educator/Facilitator, who loves sharing the joy of creativity and helping people tell their stories through art.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading creative workshops and community art projects, especially in the vibrant Pilbara Region of Western Australia. My background in Theatre Design has given me a unique set of skills – from crafting puppets and painting large murals to creating sculptures from recycled treasures for exhibitions like Castaways.
As an artist, my heart belongs to painting! Whether it’s acrylics, oils, watercolours, or inks, I find endless inspiration in Western Australia’s stunning landscapes, native flora, and beautiful bird life.
I believe that everyone has an artist inside them, and I’m here to help you discover yours. Let’s explore the world of painting together – no experience needed, just an open mind and a willingness to have fun. I can’t wait to embark on this creative journey with you!
