Go Straight to the Survey…
At Painting Around is Fun, I bring people together to create beautiful, collaborative artworks in a fun and inclusive way. My unique approach, called ‘Pattern Play Collaborative Art,’ is designed to be accessible to all. My background as an art teacher and a behaviour therapist for my son inspired its evolution. I focus on ‘success strategies’ to build creative confidence. I also work to accelerate learning through FUN. Mainly, it’s having fun painting together! I LOVE what I do. I create murals with at-risk teens. I also work on large-scale artworks with under-served community groups. Additionally, I enjoy painting with people of all ages and abilities in public projects!
I am enrolled in a Certificate 4 in Entrepreneurship and New Business program. I need to survey people about my ideas. I also need to know about their interests. I thank you for helping me with this research.
👉 This survey takes about 3–5 minutes, a little more if you have extra suggestions and ideas to share. You can skip questions. None are required. It has 6 short sections to break it up. I put in photos to add some variety, too!

Soccer Mural Created with Primary School Children
About 32 children in a specialist soccer program at a local primary school painted this mural. They gathered four times to create this small-scale mural. It matches the exact size and shape of a soccer goal. They practice kicking their soccer balls at it during training and school breaks. Now, they can marvel at the beautiful mural they created together, building on their team bond.
Colourful Mural Created with Teenagers
Around 20 girls and staff contributed to this beautiful mural. They used the ‘Galaxy’ colour scheme from my set of “7 Essential Colour Schemes.” The mural stretches 6-7 metres across their canteen wall. It can be seen every day and builds their confidence to try new, creative and challenging things.
Teenagers Creating a Collaborative Art Project
During our debriefing sessions about the mural and their community-based SACE program, the girls created this piece. It was then cut up into postcards and put into a vending machine at Flinders Medical Centre. Visitors, staff, and patients can buy a little bit of original art to share. We used an earlier form of my “Easy Pattern Play Visual Resources.” Each resource has easy-to-copy and inspiring patterns. These patterns are asymmetrical and based on hand-painted patterns that have now been used on hundreds of individual artworks. They help people to get creative with confidence and enjoy creating together!
In conclusion
Collaborative art projects bring people together, fostering creativity, confidence, and teamwork. My ‘Pattern Play Collaborative Art’ approach makes it easy and fun for all ages and abilities. I’d love your input—take my survey to help shape future projects! Your ideas will make a difference.
