Millennial Moments Workshop is a nostalgic and expressive painting session celebrating the moments that shaped us: the music we cried to, the memes we quoted, the heartbreaks, the joy, and the inside jokes that defined a generation.
Inspired by Wayde’s Millennial Moments series, this workshop invites you to turn your own life memories into bold, colourful artwork. Whether it’s a song lyric that carried you through, a pop culture reference that still lives rent-free in your head, or a moment that quietly changed you, you’ll capture it on canvas in your own vibrant style.
This session blends creativity with reflection in a relaxed, welcoming space. You’ll be gently guided through colour, composition, and expressive techniques while being encouraged to follow your intuition and make the piece uniquely yours.
What to expect:
  • Painting on canvas
  • Bold colour, expressive mark-making, and personal symbolism
  • Inspiration drawn from music, pop culture, memories, and lived experience
  • A supportive, relaxed environment with no pressure to share unless you want to
Who it’s for:
Perfect for beginners and experienced creatives alike. If you love nostalgia, self-expression, and art that tells a story, this workshop is for you.
Part therapy, part pop culture, and deeply personal, this workshop is about connection to yourself, your story, and the era that raised us.

I’m Wayde Clarke, a proud Wiradjuri and Birpai artist and art therapist based in Newcastle, and the creative mind behind Alejandro Lauren and Alejandro’s - Gallery | Workshops | Collective.
My journey began as a way to reconnect with my culture, emotions, and the stories that shape who we are. Art became my way to heal, express, and share the oldest living culture in the world through colour, pattern, and symbolism. That passion grew into running creative workshops that help others do the same exploring their feelings, stories, and connection through art.
I love teaching because it’s more than making art, it’s about creating a safe, inspiring space where people can express themselves freely and rediscover creativity. Seeing people open up and connect through storytelling and colour is what keeps me doing what I love.
I’ve had the privilege of working with schools, councils, and major organisations including NSW Health, NSW Government, Wesley Mission, City of Parramatta, and Cotton On, running art and cultural storytelling workshops for communities, corporate teams, and youth programs. Each session is designed to be hands-on, heart-led, and deeply meaningful.
My artwork has also been exhibited nationally and featured in campaigns celebrating reconciliation, pride, and healing. Every workshop, artwork, and collaboration is guided by the same goal, to connect, create, and celebrate culture.
Come join me, pick up a brush, and let’s tell your story through art.
