TERM 4 - SURPRISE ME! with Simone Linehan
Surprise Me is a fantastic way to learn so much in a short period of time. Each two weeks over the eight week term you will be presented a new exciting, contemporary art project, each a different medium! You won't know what the project is until you get into our warm and welcoming studio.
Each project a new medium possibly using... watercolour, gouache, acrylic, printing, mixed media, pencils and more!
Beginners welcome. Embrace the idea of not having to make too many decisions and learning about so many wonderful mediums and exciting project ideas.
With Summer holidays coming up you might find a new passion to explore! All a surprise! Just turn up and everything supplied.
We are NOT a cookie cutter studio... so your project will look nothing like the other students, there is plenty of opportunity to make it uniquely yours and use the skills and tools you will learn over and over at home or if you love the project so much you have the option to repeat into following weeks.

why…
The studio exists to provide a place where relaxation and creativity are inevitable so you can thrive and feel nurtured.
Soaking up important YOU time, reflecting on meaningful moments and embracing your creative inner child to give them a massive well deserved hug.
I absolutely love seeing how artworks evolve and personalities shine through everyone's individual work plus the peace, clarity and freedom they feel from our sessions.
To see confidence grow in our supportive and nurturing space makes me warm and full of joy.
Our focus is mindfulness, relaxation, letting go of fears, bravery in art, permission to play, freedom to explore, letting go of old stories holding us back, how to make quick decisions about your art and develop your own unique gorgeous style. Packed with practical, creative and ‘living a gentle life’ information, topped off with laughter, fun and, as always, a lovely meditation to begin our journey.

testimonials…
“Simone is a fantastic human. Before my first lesson i was so anxious, i wanted to leave. She encouraged me to stay, play and explore and i’m so glad she did. Her demonstrations and interactions with ink, pastels, watercolour etc., Made me feel really comfortable and gave me clear examples to work from. My experience with faces was zilch but through Simone’s wonderful teaching style i managed to gain confidence and improve each week. Thank you Simone, cant wait to see what’s happening next term!” Julie x
"I love these classes!! Sim has such a beautiful, warm, supportive presence that has helped me feel confident enough to explore my artistic creativity in a safe, enjoyable and connected way. She is always so generous in sharing ideas, techniques and suggestions that have led to really surprisingly impressive outcomes for me as a beginner. I have learnt so much and look forward to learning and developing more!"Monica

So glad to have come across her business and witnessed wonderful creativity and joy.” Maeve xxx

simone linehan
Simone Linehan is an Australian artist born in 1973 living in Adelaide. In 1989 she started her career in graphic design and illustration, first working for local design studios then in 1996 she began her freelance career. Her client focus was on Arts based organisations such as State Theatre Company, Adelaide Chamber Singers and the Australian String Quartet just to name a few.
Her first solo painting exhibition was in 2007 and has had several smaller and group exhibitions since then, along side raising two sons and running her business. The combination of graphic design, illustration, teaching and painting has given Simone a broad range of art experiences and knowledge.
In 2008 to further embrace her love of visual arts she added a children’s art class business to the side of this successful design career. Four years later she opened her art studio for adults, now a thriving hub of activity in Parkside specialising in mixed media and expressive art making.
In 2018 she gained her Art Therapy Diploma, as art was becoming a precious tool for wellbeing in her students. Around this time she began painting murals which can be seen in local businesses and schools.
Predominately a self taught painter, Simone expresses her passion for character, human and otherwise, in acrylic, watercolour, oils and mixed media. Her quirky characters capture real and imagined, being influenced, from a very young age, by the likes of Jim Hensen (the Muppets) and Maurice Sendak (Where The Wild Things Are).
She sees the world from a place of colour, creativity and playfulness.
