hang out with a sisterhood of like-minded souls where women painters are nourished & advance and participate in
The HERO’S Creative Challenge
PAINTERS kept telling me they wanted freedom but I knew years of practice wouldn’t make them break free - SO I designed a comprehensive ONE DAY PAINTING CHALLENGE aimed at liberation and freedom because sometimes you just need a mentor who is brave enough to give you a good push …..
“I owe so much to the HERO Challenges. My confidence has certainly had a BIG boost. A huge change from “I don’t think I can paint that” to “ooh how should I approach this one” ”
The HEROS Creative Challenge is a monthly painting initiative with a holistic approach to artistic development that fosters growth and some amazing tangible outcomes. Each month the CHALLENGE provides opportunities to engage in new genres and subject matter encouraging painters to step out of their comfort zones and explore unfamiliar territories in their art
HAVING coached literally hundreds of painters I have designed all the elements within the framework to get you comfortable quickly and establish the trust to unlock a doorway to set you free. THE painters go from stale and stuck to liberation no matter where they are on their creative journey and paint with BOLDNESS. THE framework delivers over one week leading up to Painting Day and considers the holistic growth of the artist to develop painters not only on a practical level but also on a personal and spiritual level with key elements including:
a unique THEME
introduction & encouragement
a WINNING Reference that guarantees no timid or lifeless paintings
a powerful painting PLAN
a purposed PLAYLIST
LIVE coaching sessions and
group painting experience from the comfort of your own space
group energy delivered within a closed facebook group
““I am looking at everything differently. Feeling so lucky to be in this group” KC “This group has given me so much joy. I talked about finding art all the time but just never got to it, now I’m addicted. I have no idea what my style is but I know I’m loving the journey” JN”
IT’S true every time…
The HEROS Creative Challenge will bust you out of your confining constraints, put your skills on steroids and break you through to a radical relationship with colour and stroke AND what’s more, you take that breakthrough back to your practice which accelerates your ability to a whole new level
HEROS Creative Challenge painters get loud and proud quickly and hang their paintings with pride, gift, share across their socials, win prizes and sell their art
WOMEN painters from all over Australia and New Zealand participate from the comfort of their own studio, regardless of their skill levels, and share the same creative dream to explore their creativity in a non judgmental space and stretch themselves beyond what they thought was possible. THE collective experience leads to an unprecedented elevation of skills, confidence, and connectedness with a significant positive impact on each painter plus fosters a strong sense of community that extends beyond local boundaries
““I can’t repay you for what you have brought out of me artistically” SL “I wait with baited breath each and every week. The challenges are on my mind every day, and I now look around with my eyes wide open” CGP “I am exploding in happiness I can’t believe I painted that in one day. I sang and danced and was in flow-state for most of it” KVL”
“I would never have attempted any of these works but somehow you have challenged this from afar. I love sharing the community of creatives and positive energy here! JL “ your amazing challenges have helped me be brave and use colour with abandon - it is amazing. Thank you! Thank you ! Thankyou ! JN
”
“Well that’s what I call disrupting!!!
NO brushes used. That last 2 hours are the most fun for me, when I begin I have the best intentions to meet the brief and then I don’t. It used to worry me, but now I just let me be me. At some point in the process it just snaps in my head and I’m in my happy place.I am so in awe of all you amazing artists and how you have all blossomed under Shani’s mentorship and I am honoured to paint with you. Thank you for listening to me and giving this space to create. Loved Shani’s comment about it not being a competition that alone allows us to create who we are.”
