✨ I’m incredibly honoured to be named a finalist in the PHCCI Business Awards for Excellence in Leading with Innovation and Best Micro Business (0–6 Employees) ✨

Running a small business in Hedland comes with its fair share of challenges — distance, resources, and the juggle of wearing all the hats — but it’s also one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. The strength, resilience, and support within this community is something truly special 💜💚🩷

I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge and thank all of the entrants. It takes courage to put yourself and your business forward, and every single person contributing to our local economy is making a difference.

A huge congratulations to all of the other finalists — it’s an honour to be alongside so many inspiring businesses doing incredible things in our region 👏

And to everyone who has supported Emotional Etchings along the way — clients, families, organisations, and this amazing community — thank you. This recognition is shared with you.

No matter the outcome, I’m already feeling very grateful ✨

From a blank canvas to this 👇

Same base design. Six completely different outcomes.

This is why I love running these sessions—whether it’s community groups or team building, it’s not just about painting… it’s about:
✔ stepping outside your comfort zone
✔ having a laugh
✔ connecting with others
✔ and creating something you didn’t think you could

No experience needed—just a willingness to give it a go.

And these emus? Absolute proof of that 👏

🎨 Quirky Emus & Creative Freedom

Last week I was asked if I could teach one of my quirky emu paintings… and to be honest, it’s been about two years since I last painted one! So it turned into a bit of a journey of re-teaching myself while guiding the group at the same time 😊

What I loved most about this session was that everyone started with the same simple base drawing—but from there, each person made it their own. The personalities that came through in each painting were incredible. No two emus were the same, and that’s exactly the magic of creative expression.

Art isn’t about getting it “right”—it’s about letting go, having a go, and discovering what comes out along the way 💛

So proud of what everyone created (and quietly proud that my emus made a comeback too 🐦🌟). Finished products will be revealed next week 😉

If your workplace or group is looking for something a little different, I’d love to chat.

Two weeks ago, I painted this turtle in calming ocean blues… and this week, she found herself swimming through vibrant pink instead 💙💖

Same design, different energy — and a reminder of how much our creativity reflects how we’re feeling in the moment.

Painting has always been my go-to when I need to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with myself. There’s something so grounding about each brushstroke, each dot, each layer coming together.

It’s not about perfection… it’s about presence.

What’s your go-to way to unwind? 🎨✨

First painting finished for 2026 ✨

I started this one back when the red jellyfish and whales were hanging around Hedland — one of those moments where the ocean just demands to be painted. 🐋🐙
Vivid, bright, and full of that coastal magic that stops you in your tracks.

Feels pretty special to kick off the year like this 🌊🎨
