Meet Dakota - one of the 8 Angels. Not your typical kind of angel, she’s got fire in her eyes and loyalty that runs deep. The one who shows up when things get messy, laughs too loud, and orders the wine without asking. The Angels were born from words written by my dear friends, created to honor women who’ve faced breast cancer. Dakota is a reminder that strength can look like laughter, defiance, or simply showing up again. #angelswithattitude #artwithapurpose #artwithintention

It’s finally time ….. The Angels with Attitude have landed . This collection has been brewing for a while and they’ve been patiently waiting for their moment. The Angels with Attitude are my tribute to women whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. It all started with friends writing words straight onto the canvas… I’ll share more about that soon , it’s where the magic began. Creating this collection has been an honor and seeing these Angels come to life has been pure joy.
They’ve got presence. They’ve got attitude.
And today, they’re finally ready to meet you. #angelswithattitude #womenwhoinspire #artwithpurpose #swissartist #artreveal

It’s been a busy week getting things organized for the cooler months. I’m opening up the Atelier Thursday evenings starting October. It is your space to paint freely, experiment, and explore your creativity at your own pace. It’s not a formal course — but I will be there with ideas, prompts, tips, and encouragement if you’d like a little inspiration. I can’t wait to see who pops in ! #openatelier #artevent #artinprogress #createwithme #interlakenswitzerland

Sunshine and Good Tidings The turn of seasons can make us feel a bit blue - regretting the summer dresses not worn . But here’s the secret: you don’t have to wait for sunshine to return. You can invite it in. This painting is my reminder that colour, warmth, and joy are things we can create at home. Where would you hang this painting? #OriginalArt #colourfulhomevibe #artforyourhome #creativecolourcollective

Sometimes our minds are like a wild garden (more often than not in my case ) blooming with ideas, tangled with old thoughts, and ready for new growth. In the Garden of Thought It’s a place to pause, reflect, and nurture your imagination. Step in, ask yourself: What old ideas am I ready to release? What new seeds of inspiration will I plant today? Every thought we tend, every idea we nurture, blooms into something beautifully unexpected. #mixedmediaartist #mixedmediapainting #artwithsoul #colourcreators #artistic

Excited to share a snippet of my words in @theturquoiseirisjournal. Stories Shared on Canvas Exploring different places - or diving deep into my thoughts - feels like stepping into a vibrant kaleidoscope. If your mind’s anything like mine, a little wild and full of shifting colours, you’ll understand. Every experience layers itself in unexpected ways: emotions, memories, textures all weaving together. It’s so amazing to share my thoughts and creativity in this space. Feeling grateful for the chance to contribute and for all of you who get to read it. #mycreativecommunity #mycreativelife #colorfulmind #theturquoiseirisjournal

Spotted: artist collapsed on sofa. Don’t be fooled — this isn’t laziness, it’s the aftermath. The past few months have been a whirlwind: smashing goals , meeting inspiring people, and the painting above me has already found its forever home. Proof that yes… art really does find its people. (Maybe yours is waiting too ?) So if I look pooped, it’s only because being fabulous is hard work. Ha ha ! #artistlife #itsnevertoolate #originalartwork #wowart

Still pinching myself over this milestone… After showing my work for the very first time in my own studio/shop, I got to take it out into the world for my first official exhibition beyond my own walls. Seeing my pieces on the digital screens, meeting lovely artists — it was surreal in the best way. I’ve shared more photos and if you would like to see more — just check the link in Bio for a closer look . #swissartexpo #artboxproject #artforyourhome #artexhibitions #artjourney

I had the wings drawn and was all set to start my underpainting… then somehow the rubber (that’s “eraser” for some of you!) ended up in my hand. Before I knew it, the wings were gone, and I was sketching koi fish instead. Funny thing although I do love fish, Koi were not a favorite. But I felt completely drawn to them (pun absolutely intended). The very next day, we went out for dinner and, no kidding we got seated right next to a koi tank. They’re symbols of prosperity and good luck… loving that little wink from the universe! Sometimes the real story isn’t the painting itself, but how it decides to come to life. #mixedmediaart #koiart #luckyart #processart #artwithsoul

I grew up around windmills. We needed them for water — they were just part of farm life. Windmills are a universal symbol of life, resilience, self sufficiency and perseverance. That’s the kind of energy that sparks creativity and keeps life interesting. #mixedmediapainting #colourfulart #swissartist #artwithsoul #floralart

The Courage to Bloom I remember my hand was red—probably from a little smack—but it’s a long time ago, so the details are a bit fuzzy. Mum had just started her very first garden on the farm. The climate was harsh, so those red carnations blooming felt like a small victory. I was the little “rat bag” — four years old, picking the flowers, I believe even eating some. Tears rolling down my chubby cheeks but I just couldn’t stop picking those pretty flowers. Neither of us giving in ! That stubborn courage to keep going and blooming, even when it hurts or feels hard. Mixed Media 60x 80 Linen Canvas #mixedmediacollage #mixedmediaartist

The Courage to Bloom . For now, a little tease — a peek through petals. I’m letting it hold its mystery a little longer —because sometimes the reveal is sweeter when it takes its time. Curious? Good. That’s half the fun. #mixedmediaartist

Wurzel and Wings She has a quiet strength — rooted, curious, a little wild perhaps. There’s heritage in her, and a sense of going somewhere new. (Also… I kind of want her headdress.)

Wurzel and Wings - Somewhere between where we come from and where we’re going — there’s a space to pause, to breathe, to honour both. I grew up on sunburnt land with endless skies — Western Australia, where my roots run deep: family, stories, salt air, red dust. Now I live surrounded by the Swiss Alps — majestic, ever-changing, and sometimes overwhelming in their scale.— But I’ve grown to love them. They remind me that growth can happen in unexpected places, and that strength often comes from stillness. Where would you hang this piece? In a quiet corner? Your workspace? Near a window where you dream? Let it ground you when life feels chaotic, or lift you when you need perspective. Art is more than decoration — it’s emotion on your wall. Would this one speak to you? #wurzelandwings #originalart #artistlife #artwithmeaning #swissalpsinspired #creativesoul #emotionalart

This painting was literally “like taking the bull by the horns.”It was a huge challenge and it tested my skill set.I I wasn’t sure I could achieve the effect I wanted and I really had to trust my process, well more like the development of my process. I love how it evolved and I love all the layers that waiting to be discovered. #languageoflove #mixedmediaartist #newartwork #wowart #swissartist

The Way She Wanders There’s something about letting the path take its own course and following a feeling, a glimmer, a thread — without needing all the answers up front. This painting invites you into that space, where you’re not fixed on a destination but simply allowing things to unfold. There’s a quiet sense of renewal and transformation woven into its details, a bit like a caterpillar. A reminder that the best way to experience life is by trusting the process.Where we wander shapes who we are. #mixedmediaartist #acrylicpainting #swissartist #colourfulart #artfromtheheart

The Way She Wanders She follows the places where things start to shift — where light changes, colors surprise, and the path isn’t obvious. No map, no plan — just curiosity and a pull toward what’s next.

This is the fun part .I love choosing which bits and pieces I’m going to collage onto my canvas.I have 3 boxes that are full to the brim of paper stuff ( can’t think of a better word ) and Im always amazed at what I manage to pull out.This piece has some hidden gems .

When I was younger, I was a bit of a copycat—I wanted to be like my friends. My best friend was petite and cute, while I was tall and uncoordinated (or “unco,” as we used to say). I didn’t quite know how to fit into my own skin yet. But years later, everything started to shift. As a fashion design student with white-blonde hair and wild, out-there outfits, I finally began to feel like myself. I remember my mum saying, “I told you to be individual.” And she was right. That was the moment I truly began dancing to my own rhythm- which is the title of this piece. Swipe ⬅️ to see more #mixedmediaartist #mixedmediaart

It’s not always about dancing to the same beat as everyone else. Sometimes it’s about letting go, letting your body move the way it wants, letting your spirit soar. This piece is all about that feeling and finding your own rhythm. Not for show. Not for approval. Just because it’s yours . #mixedmartialarts #mixedmediapainting

I still can picture the two girls knocking on the window of the tea houses grimy window.They were dressed in their tradition hill tribe clothing and had huge grins in their faces, they held silver jewelry in their hands.They were so cute I couldn’t resist and I ended up buying a traditional silver collar style necklace. It’s a treasured souvenir from Sapa Vietnam.Ooh I just remembered I have some earrings too. I might have to bust them out tomorrow. Who wants to see the rest of this painting??

« Equilibrium » my latest art ! In a world of constant highs and lows, true peace comes from not resisting either side, but from embracing the balance that holds them together. Dancing around the living room is also very liberating!

This painting took me on a bit of an unexpected adventure. My idea started with balance( because we could all do with some ) movement and strength and naturally lots of vibrant colour . I had to have x-ray vision to see through all the layers.Figuring out how all the elements fit together was part of the magic mess.I did struggle with dividing a circle evenly( maths challenged).I had to laugh at myself when my brother said why didn’t you use a protractor? -“a what?” That’s what I love about painting it’s not just about the end result, but the whole journey getting there. I’d love to know what you see or feel from this painting , I’m always curious how others read the layers?

But(t) what’s behind every masterpiece? A flash of marble (faux)cheek, a questionable amount of coffee and a wild-eyed artist talking to herself .”Do you really need to use the fluro orange ….mmm yes I think so “ It’s been one of those weeks—the kind where paint drips in places it shouldn’t but somehow the magic still happens. #buyartfromlivingartists #acrylicpainting #boldart #dynamicart #ihavethisthingwithcolour

I think I better stick to painting, I don’t think my modeling career is going to take off !! The sun is shining, it’s still deceivingly chilly but spring is in the air. The buds are blooming and the birds are chirping.The doves will be nesting in our roof again soon.I wonder where they have journeyed and what adventure they’ve had. #boldart #vibrantcolours #acrylmalerei #acrylicpaintingoncanvas #artforthehome

This painting was inspired from a holiday in Sicily, where I was completely blown away by the stunning monuments and ancient ruins. Bringing that inspiration to life was an adventure especially when it came to the tiled details! I initially thought I could simply tape off a grid, but that plan didn’t quite work (turns out being “maths-challenged” made things trickier than expected!).At one point I even questioned if it the colours were too bold but then I reminded myself… I am the Colour Queen !! #colourcrush #newartwork #mixedmediapainting #mixedmediacanvas #statueart

Holidays fly by in a blur, sunny days, breathtaking sights,Aperol spritz and lazy days . Then suddenly you’re back home and all that remains are the memories (and a pile of unopened bills ). Memories are powerful and they linger in feelings, colours and the smallest details. This painting was inspired by Sicily and its diverse culture and timeless beauty. A little reminder to pause because while time rushes by the things that truly touch us stay forever. #boldart #mixedmediaartists #meaningfulart #statueart #wallartwork

We found a lost pigeon hopping around the garden, unable to fly. Cheri who was too scared to touch him made me pick him up before the neighbor’s cats did. A tiny metal bracelet on his leg revealed he was a homing pigeon from Germany. We named him Lucky and cared for him over the next few days but no matter how much he rested he still couldn’t fly. Worried, I took him to the vet hoping they could fix him up and send him on his way, preferably without sending me a huge bill! A few days later I got an unexpected call from the police. Lucky had been shot and the vet had removed a pellet from his wing and patched him up. We like to believe he eventually made his way home. One thing’s for sure he was lucky to land in our garden. #mixedmediaartwork #newartworks #colourfulart #artforyourhome #birdart

You may not know but my first business was a little bead shop.The walls were turquoise blue lined with shelves of beads and it was called “Beden” ( which I thought was a bit clever) Most people just said they were at the bead shop or Kimmy’s .It started as a hobby that had invaded the kitchen table and I took a leap of faith setting up shop in a foreign country. Today I still have a some of those beads ( quite a few ) and my latest workshop is fusing my love of beads and collage .

My first red lipstick was a gift from my mum, duty free (Thats when it really was duty free) It was Chanel, very posh for a country girl .I remember the black and gold packaging it was so elegant. The great thing about red lipstick is it makes you feel brave and implies confidence even if your unsure.Its the colour of passion, energy and danger .? My friends used to joke that if a woman had lipstick on her teeth it was the sign of a crazy woman .I may or may not have had lippy on my teeth !

Getting my hands messy with charcoal today .Well it might have been in my face too, I had an itch ha ha. It’s so different from my usual colourful style, but I’m loving# the contrast and dramatic effect. I can’t wait to see how this experiment transforms into something vibrant later perhaps. What medium are you playing with at the moment ? #mixedart #artforsoul #originalart #theprocess #charcoalart

Little artist’s in the making. This week I had the pleasure to host a creative workshop for two groups of 10 five year olds. The event was sponsored by our local EKI bank and a real treat for the locals .The kids painted and decorated wooden mountain goat heads ( Steinbock ) using chalk paint, bottle tops, buttons, pompoms, cupcake papers, and a bit of seasonal bling. I loved watching how freely they created, no overthinking, Free spirits ! #kidsworkshop #childrensworkshop #creativekids #sustainableart #anniesloanpaint #chalkpaint #mycolourfulplay

When I left Queenstown my luggage was overweight and I was faced into frantic sorting session at the check-in .My friend who has come to wave me off was helping pulling random items out of my bike box,asking “Keep or leave?” Among them was the cat blackboard. “Keep,” I said without hesitation. She gave me a puzzled look, “Why?” I just laughed, knowing I couldn’t part with it. That cat blackboard made the journey with me, only to end up sitting in my cellar for years. This week I decided It was time to give it some love and a little restyle .It’s now a vibrant, fun piece of wall decor ready to find a new home. Some things just need a little patience—and maybe a second chance—to find their purpose! #collageart #catart #sustainableart #mixedmediaart #wallartdecor

Here’s a little peek at one of the paintings I have been working on.I still haven’t painted the edges, finishing is the hard part . I also need to practice my signature ( well I need to create an artistic one ) My normal signature is child like , perhaps because I’ve had the same one since childhood . Anyone else relate ?? Grand reveal soon . #newartwork #acrylicartwork #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #painteveryday

I’d just hung up painting in the workshop, to get it out of the way—the paint was barely dry. Little did I know this would be the start of a new passion Petra walked in and immediately spotted the painting and asked if it was for sale. I hadn’t thought about selling and assumed she was being polite. I was thrilled she loved it and she persisted until I put a price on it !! We both realized the painting actually had a striking resemblance to her too .Today, she proudly owns that painting, a piece that both surprised and encouraged me. I started to believe it myself and I could actually say - I am an artist! #artistatwork #wallartdecor #wallart #colourfulart #painting

Im taking a moment to appreciate this incredible space that I get to create in most days .My studio is my sanctuary – a place where ideas turn into reality. Although the windows could use a good clean (I’ll get to that... eventually), the view outside is nothing short of inspiring. Of course, it’s not free – but it’s worth every penny and it beats the kitchen table . I would love to hear if you have a dedicated creative space ? #creativestudio #artistlife #artstudio #bringtheoutsidein #cozyfallvibes #craftingjoy

If a bird sits on your shoulder it’s a sign of trust and that it feels safe . I don’t think I’ve had a bird sit on me but I’ve got a funny bird story. I was in Turkey buying beads and jewelry for my shop.I was taking a long time to choose and the assistants kept pointing towards the mirror when I liked something .I smiled and waved them off “ It’s ok I don’t need to look at it in the mirror “ this went on for hours.Eventually they couldn’t bear it anymore and an assistant dragged me to the mirror and shyly pointed to my hair .I had remembered walking past a tree in the morning and what I thought was a leaf had dropped on my head .Well it wasn’t a leaf, a bird had pooped on my head .I couldn’t stop laughing much to everyone’s relief ( they could finally have a giggle too). I hear it’s Good Luck ! Anyone else got a bird story ? #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #artoftheday #mycreativelife #birdsofafeather

DIY Witchy-Poo Picture. I took an old vintage photo in tired frame from my “hall of frame “ stash and transformed it into a funky witch! With a swipe of my magic brush that old family portrait is magically transformed . Which family member would you surprise with a “spooky“ makeover and what or who would they be ? I could see myself with little horns . Let me if you try it, I’d love to see your transformations! #halloweendecor #witchyvibes #diyhalloween #halloweenart #halloweenpainting

I had so much fun transforming this buffet into a true jewel ?, now it’s a stunning sideboard! I combined two amazing paint brands for the perfect look. The base is Capri Pink by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, with a striking Frida Blue interior. Then I added a layer of Love Language from Debi’s Design DIY (Did I say love ?). The florals are a blend of both paints, that’s it’s giving it all the WOW vibes! Now………who left fingerprints on the glass? ??. #chalkpaintedfurniture #painterlybydiy #anniesloaninteriors #debisdesigndiary #furnitureartist #furnitureart #furnitureawakened
