Summer 2026
Honouring my practice and the Creativity Workshops for 2026 begin February 19th.
“Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, breathe the wild air.” Ralph W Emerson
“The reason we’re alive is to express ourselves in the world and creating art maybe the most effective and beautiful method of doing so.
Art goes beyond language beyond lives. It’s a universal way to send message between each other and through time.” Rick Rubin.
“Your life I finite and you should make your art. Things will get in the way and you should still make your art. Return to your art, over and over again. You will find clarity and answers as you feed this vital part of yourself. You will fall away from a practice, and you are always invited to return to it in this moment, and this one, and this one. Your art is always waiting for you.” Beth Picken
Theres a special quality to mornings, a fresh beginning, a new dawn, the light returns and we’re given a new chance to start afresh.
Its like this for me in the new year, you turn the page of the old year, you can start again, fresh and new. For me that means lots of journaling has been going on, lots of setting my intentions for the new year, and thinking about my deep resolve, my Sankalpa for the year, which is to honour myself and my art process more deeply and to honour my own path with focus and momentum.
In short:- Honour my practice.
Meaning anytime I remember I’m off my own path I’ll get back on, I’ll make art, I’ll write, I’ll get back up when I get knocked down, but above all I’ll respect my own path as an artist.
As Beth Picken says so eloquently: “Your life I finite and you should make your art. Things will get in the way and you should still make your art. Return to your art, over and over again. You will find clarity and answers as you feed this vital part of yourself. You will fall away from a practice, and you are always invited to return to it in this moment, and this one, and this one. Your art is always waiting for you.”
Someone said to me last year, “What about your next life? Would you want to be an artist?” And it hit me like a ton of bricks. I suddenly knew without a shadow of a doubt that being an artist was my precious gift, one I wanted to honour and cherish in this life. I want to be worthy of my gifts, so my deep resolve this year is to honour my gifts and my practice.
HONOUR YOUR OWN PRACTICE IN 2026.
What are your gifts in this one wild and precious life? What do you want to honour in your life for 2026? If its your creativity you’d like to nurture and discover you could consider doing a creativity workshop with me here.
Creativity Workshops 2026
Workshop one for 2026 will be held in February from Thursday February 19th. To Thursday March 19th.
Each workshop runs from 6.30pm – 9.00pm and the total cost is $175 which includes all materials and a complimentary journal.
Here’s what people said about the Creativity Workshops in 2025:-
“It’s such a breath of fresh air to get the creative juices flowing and at a time I’ve really needed it.” Julie.
“I think my biggest takeaway from the workshop was permission (to myself?) to be creative. To explore, try something out, be curious. It’s a liberating feeling to reconnect with spontaneity.” Frankie.
“If I hadn’t have done the Creativity Workshops I wouldn’t have become an artist.” Helen
“A beautiful space to explore my creativity, where new friendships formed and I learned the art of letting go.
Robyn created an environment that helped reveal a part of my artistic self I didn’t know I could access.” Goldie C
No artistic experience is necessary to do the creativity workshops, you might have failed Grade 2 finger painting but you can still do this course. If the Creativity workshops are speaking to you, or you want to honour your own practice in 2026 then you can contact me through my website: www.robynemerson.com.au or DM me on Instagram Robynemersonart .
