  • 5/5 from Andrew Kavanagh, attended Sep 2025: I booked a Cherry Blossom painting class for my 9 year old son and he really enjoyed it, the 2 paintings he took home were just wonderful, would highly recommend this class
  • 4/5 from Christopher Lynch, attended Sep 2025: I thought the facilitator was terrific and explained things well and l enjoy the experience of trying watercolour. Personally l would have perferred adult only participants as the inclusion of children (there were 2) meant we couldnt have adult conversations or engage in a general conversation. l was hoping the class would be a combination of learning but also be a socialising experience. It felt like l was in an afterschool program. This is by no means the fault of the facilitators but it felt like babysitting

Hello, I'm Mitra, a multi-disciplinary creator and artist working from my Melbourne studio, where my work is deeply rooted in nature's beauty and organic inspiration.
My creative journey has led me to explore and master various mediums, each offering unique ways to capture the magic of the natural world. From creating delicate yet functional pieces with eco resin to preserving nature's fleeting moments through flower pressing, and expressing natural beauty through painting - every piece tells a story of our connection to the environment.
Through interactive workshops, I help people unlock their creative potential and discover the thrill of artistic expression
