TRACEY HEWITT

As a coach, I help women who are certain life is supposed to feel better than this. Women who crave peace, delight, and freedom, but feel weighed down by their responsibilities, and the expectations of others. They suspect they could do incredible things if only they had time, but are not sure what, or how. 

As a teacher, I help folks who harbour a secret longing to create, but have no idea where to start, and doubt they even can. They’ll often show up for their first class saying things like “I can’t even draw a straight line.” They’re looking for an activity that will give them a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment as well as “a few bloody minutes to myself, dammit.” 

I make art to connect with awesome humans who are touched by the way a piece of art makes them feel, people who are as interested in the story behind the art as the piece itself.  They appreciate beauty and quality and want artwork in their homes that holds meaning for them. (Like the man who picked up a painting on the last night of a long journey because looking at it transported him right back to the corrugated roads he had traveled on his trip, or the woman who chose a soft and gentle piece to help create a special space for her ageing mother to move into when she had to leave her lifelong home.)
