Welcome to Art Dojo

Where creativity meets wellbeing

Hi, I'm Amber, a therapeutic art practitioner offering classes, workshops, and programs that use art as a tool for self-expression, stress relief, and emotional connection.

Whether you're brand new to art or looking to reconnect with your creative side, Art Dojo is a welcoming space to explore, learn, and find joy.

I work with individuals, groups, NDIS participants, and also run paint parties for celebrations and gatherings.

Right now, I'm not able to take new bookings. I've taken down my full website until bookings re-open.

If you'd like to get in touch in the meantime, please complete the form below.

My journey

Before launching Art Dojo, I spent over 20 years working in advertising and marketing, helping others tell their stories. After several big life events, I changed direction and retrained in creative therapies, returning to my own art practice with a deeper purpose.

I've learned through experimenting, getting frustrated and embracing the mess - and I encourage my clients to do the same. Rebuilding my creative confidence transformed how I navigate life's challenges, and now I help others discover this innate and powerful tool.

I now share what I’ve learned through Art Dojo. My classes are relaxed and welcoming experiences, where creativity supports wellbeing, confidence, and connection - with ourselves and with others – building emotional clarity alongside practical art techniques.
