With a passionate belief that everyone should engage in creative activity for their well-being, Ann Russell invites you to find your own creative language to “come to your senses and change your mind!”Her studio in leafy Cashmere is home to a variety of workshops as well as a selection of her paintings, sculptures and garden art.
Look at the world through the eyes of an artist:
I have always drawn, painted and made things. It is my way of interacting with and dealing with what the world throws at me. It is how I process the world around me, question and find answers about how I can live within it. Art – making it, experiencing it, collecting it – makes me who I am. It has enabled me to recognise and celebrate my love of nature, and my deep spiritual connection to animals, birds and trees. It has helped me to find my tribe and feel like I belong. I hope that the work I make will resonate with something in you, and help you to live in the world a little more easily.
I started teaching art because I loved to make things, paint and draw. But as the years progressed, I began to see what happened to people when they were able to tap into the same life-giving creative spark that made me get up in the mornings. I watched as people who were genuinely afraid of being vulnerable in my classes began to experiment and explore their own identity through art. They changed before my eyes, and I became utterly convinced of the need to offer safety in the studio so that others could access the transformative magic that is art.
