I’m joined by Kate Quinn and Emily Day, two full-time artists who turned their love of floral still life into a creative movement — Bloom Art Experiences.
Born from a desire to make art more accessible, especially in regional Australia, Bloom was created to provide supportive, joyful and high-quality painting workshops for people of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or a hobbyist, Bloom is about more than just painting — it’s about connection, creative self-care, and finding joy in the process.
🌸 In this episode, we chat about:
- How Kate and Emily met and decided to create Bloom
- The challenges and wins of launching an art business in regional Australia
- Why Bloom is more than a workshop — it’s an experience
- The impact of offering creativity to people who can’t access traditional art classes
- Bloom’s exciting expansion into online tutorials and take-home art kits
- Why creative outlets matter — especially for rural women
Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or you’re rekindling an old love for art, this episode will inspire you to bloom right where you are.
