A big congratulations to Helen Gillies on her recent art sale! Helen, a long-time participant in LAS adult art classes, now resides and practices her craft in the sunny climate of Queensland. She was a frequent attendee of our women's art and yoga weekends and continues to join Greg's High Country Art Retreats in the Snowy Mountains Region of NSW.

Her painting, Dry Plains, was recently sold at a community art exhibition where 17 other pieces were also showcased and sold, with a portion of the proceeds going to charity. This work, created during one of our high country retreats, beautifully captures the sweeping treed high plains, with Helen's modern style and expert technique elevating the traditional land and waterscape portrayal. The location where this painting was created is a special place, familiar only to those who have attended Greg's meticulously curated retreats.

Congratulations once again, Helen, on this outstanding achievement! Your success reflects the high level of excellence we strive to foster in all LAS art classes and workshops. Om Shanti from the yoga teacher too!

More Than an Art Class

At Lavender Art Studios, students become part of a progressive, professional art-learning environment where skills, confidence and creativity are developed over time. Our highly experienced teaching team provides demonstrations, individual guidance and ongoing support throughout each class, with multiple members of our studio team working within the art workshop environment. This allows students to receive assistance as they need it while also developing the confidence and independence to create their own artwork.

 

A Place to Grow as an Artist

Established in 1999, Lavender Art Studios offers a dedicated studio environment where children, young people and adults can continue developing their art practice over many years. Students are introduced to an extensive range of traditional and contemporary media and are encouraged to build skills as they progress. From our youngest Little Lavenders through to teenage specialised workshops and adult art classes, our focus remains on quality teaching, individual artistic development and the enjoyment of creating art.

​

Lavender Art Studios Opens Possibilities

Whether creating art for enjoyment, personal development or a future creative profession, learning art at Lavender Art Studios opens artistic possibilities towards building artistic skills, confidence, creativity and a lifelong appreciation of the visual arts. Many of our students have gone on to undertake tertiary studies in the arts, pursue creative professions, exhibit their work, and receive awards and recognition for their artistic achievement.
