🎨 Little Witchy Things and Art Witch Tip Time ✨ Create a ritual start for your creative practice. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Just a moment that tells your body and spirit: we’re entering sacred space now. Maybe it’s lighting a candle, misting the room with lavender, or ringing a little bell. Maybe it’s sweeping your desk with your hands to clear the energy, or pulling a tarot card to guide the session. You could even stir your tea with intention clockwise to call something in, counter-clockwise to release. What matters is that you do it with presence. Think of it like stepping through an invisible doorway. You’re not just making art, you’re weaving spells, telling truths, honouring something ancient. Art is magic. Your practice deserves that reverence.

🕯️ Little Witchy Things How do you cleanse your creative space? This week’s question couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been feeling blocked lately, not just in my creative practice, but in life more broadly. Things came to a bit of a head recently as I’ve been preparing for my upcoming exhibition and needing to make space for a new electric wheelchair. It’s forced me to stop, reassess, and shake things up, literally. Over the weekend, I gave my space a huge “autumn clean.” Corners were swept, old cobwebs (physical and energetic) cleared, and the random bits and pieces that had quietly accumulated were thanked and released. It wasn’t just tidying, it was a reset. ✨ Here’s how I layered the cleanse with all five elements: Water: Moon water infused with lavender (I’ll share the recipe soon!) to wipe down surfaces. Air: Incense smoke drifting into corners, shifting old energy. Earth: Crystals thoughtfully placed, grounding and holding space. Fire: Candles lit with intention. Sound: Tibetan bells to complete the cleanse and call in something new. But here’s the thing, you don’t need to go this big. Even lighting an incense stick, playing some music that shifts the mood, or doing a quick tidy-up with intention can do wonders. The key is to pause, reconnect, and create space for your art, your breath, and your magick. 🎨 Art Witch Tip If you’re feeling blocked, try cleansing before you create. A cluttered space can sometimes mirror a cluttered mind. And if you’ve been stuck lately, you’re not alone. We shift with the seasons, and autumn asks us to release, let go of what’s no longer needed so something new can emerge. Maybe this week, your spell is simply this: Clear the space. Light the candle. Begin again. #LittlewitchyThings #ArtWitch #ArtWitchTips

I’m honoured to take part in this year’s @incognitoartshow where every artwork is anonymous, and every sale supports Studio A and The Art Factory, creating opportunities for artists with disabilities to flourish. You won’t know which one is mine but…. maybe one will find you, that’s part of the magic. #IncognitoArtShow #SupportDisabledArtists #StudioA #TheArtFactory #ArtForAll

Art Witch on Tour! 🎨 It took five attempts over five months, but I finally made it. Yesterday I went to the Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the NGV and it was absolutely incredible. This wasn’t just an outing, this was something I really wanted to see. I went with my daughter and grandkids, which made it even more special. My granddaughter was so curious about Kusama’s work, asking me questions about the art and the artist. My grandson was mesmerised by all the colours and dots, pure joy. It meant a lot to finally be able to use the free exhibition pass that came with my NGV membership too. I missed out last year because I was in hospital, so this felt like a quiet reclaiming of something I’d lost. Yayoi Kusama will be my featured Artist of the Season in my next blog post (I swapped her out last month after my spontaneous trip to see Judy Chicago in Canberra). What a force of a woman—what an extraordinary legacy. No wonder this show has become the NGV’s most popular exhibition ever. They’ve even had to extend the opening hours late into the night to meet the demand. I’m so glad I kept persevering. I’ll share some of our visit here and pop the rest over on the blog. Stay tuned!
