One of my personal favourite places to present events is It has far too many good vibes... or I would say energies... that invite me and many other Aucklanders every day.

All age groups, various cultures, children, and dogs come together here. Plus, you can see sheep, lambs, and cows wandering around too... once you are there, you think, what else could you want? It is truly refreshing.

With all those reasons, and having been an Aucklander for 25+ years, I can proudly say I live in a city where Cornwall Park exists. And now I am so fortunate to sometimes present events there, connect with the team, and explore more ideas to bring our community together. 🌳

Here is a moments from yesterday's Chopat session. Delightfully, so many different cultures and age groups walked in and enjoyed the game. I am full of gratitude.

Have a fab long weekend, everyone.

🍂 Halfway through our art term already!
This week we completed one of our autumn-inspired practice paintings and are now moving on to larger canvases — such an exciting stage of the creative journey. I can’t wait to see what this beautiful and inspiring group of artists will create next.

One of the most special things about art classes is the connection we build along the way. Week after week we paint together, share ideas, encourage one another, stay inspired, and inspire each other too. Creativity truly brings people together. 🎨✨

Our next term begins in August 2026.
If you would like to learn watercolor or acrylic painting, stay in touch.
