Chony's Art Room | Sunshine Coast

Welcome to
CHONY'S ART ROOM
It's lovely to see you here

CHONY'S BELIEF

Chony’s Art Room’s core beliefs are derived from over 20 years teaching Visual Arts workshops to all ages from 0 – 90 years old in various regions of Australia, including some Indigenous Communities, Melbourne, Papua New Guinea and England.

Arts based practices are beneficial for maintaining positive mental health and well-being through personally investing in the act of mindfulness, self-expression and joy.

Chony’s Art Room strives to provide a variety of arts based workshops, in which students have opportunities to explore a diverse range of materials and techniques from water colours, clay, inks, collage, wet felting, acrylic pour and sculpture etc

Firmly believing that every human, at any age, can find joy in expressing themselves creatively and that each person has their own ‘unique’ art making style. When people are welcomed into a supportive, vibrant, inclusive art space, surrounded by people with similar interests the individual capacity for incredible creativity abounds.

TESTIMONIALS

Mel Barnsley - Support Worker

Expressive Arts Group - NDIS Funded adult participant

“I have found the ‘Expressive Arts Group’ to be a safe place for expressing how I am feeling & what is going on in my life. There are a huge range of art materials to choose from & you can do something related to the topic or have a play.

There is no judgement on what you do & you choose how much you want to share. The group has been a big part of managing my mental health over the last month or so & I love that the facilitators are accepting of where I am at”

“Chony’s warm and caring teaching style promotes a safe, expressive learning environment. She masterfully manages the varying needs in the group and interacts with each individual, delivering positive feedback that motivates and inspires. Her genuine desire to help participants grow and connect with others and themselves is obvious. Chony’s workshops bring happiness”

Beau - 8 Years Old

"I really like that Chony teaches us that art is so many things, much more than just painting or drawing. She teaches us about what we want to make and how we want to make it. She shows us techniques and lets us use different materials in the ways that we want too"

Jennifer Davis
