Collaborative Art Projects in Adelaide

I’m based in Adelaide, South Australia, and I love helping groups create colourful paintings together – in schools, community spaces, community programs, and events.

These projects are designed so everyone can participate, regardless of age or artistic experience.

Collaborative art helps people connect, grow in confidence, and create lasting memories while making something meaningful together.

My in-person availability is limited while I focus on recovery and developing new resources. I’ll share updates when new opportunities open.

Collaborative Art is about the connection, the communication, and the confidence building. It just happens to look beautiful at the end because people working together create wonderful things on the way.

I help you make beautiful collaborative artworks together

They are called Inclusive Social Art Projects. It’s really fun to paint with other people. You’ll be so creative and feel so proud. My collaborative art projects are inclusive of all ages and abilities.

My style of collaborative painting is called
Pattern Play Collaborative Art

We have fun Painting Around each other on the beautiful artworks you create!

Each social art project has three stages:

  1. Messy Playing – Let’s dive into your creativity…
  2. Exploring – Let’s paint circles together…
  3. BLING! – Let’s decorate (Everyone loves glitter, right?)

Do you support a group who would gain from creating a collaborative art project?

Creating your artwork will be EASY and FUN because we’ll:

  • Use success strategies (so you succeed)
  • Use simple visual resources (Simple ideas to copy or inspire you) and
  • Use clear structure (I mix the colours and do the washing up)

In a collaborative art painting you explore creativity within the safety of a group.

Creating in a group helps with:

  • having no performance pressure
  • building your creative confidence naturally
  • avoiding the sting of comparison anxiety
  • fostering co-creation and cooperation easily
  • feeling personal ownership of the process and final artwork
  • relaxed people skills practice – it’s easier to talk while doing something.

Simply enjoy the thrill of collaborative painting. It’s a unique experience.

You Are Creative! Everyone is Creative!

Circles are the most inclusive shape. You can paint a circle, an oval, a blob? Of course you can.

We paint circles together and go from there…

As you are creating as a group, there is no performance pressure – everyone works as a team.

It’s like a sporting team – what we create is from the dynamics of the group (everyone enjoys themselves!)

Think of These Collaborative Art Projects As ‘Crowd Sourced’, Unique Creativity…
