Hi, I'm Sanchia

Hi everyone I'm an artist based in Brisbane and am a new Studio on Brunswick Affiliate.

My creative journey actually began in fashion. I won a summer scholarship to the Whitehouse School of Fashion when I was 14, later studied fashion and textile design, and worked as a pattern maker before spending 12 years homeschooling my kids and finding my way back to art.

My work is inspired by nature, emotion and the feminine form, and I'm currently focused on building a sustainable art practice while continuing to develop my own artistic voice. Along the way I've been fortunate to be a finalist in the Australian Watercolour Muster and Fabriano in Italy, and have also entered the Archibald Prize and Brisbane Portrait Prize.

Outside of painting, I'm a trained health coach and host The Trailblazer's Palette podcast, where I've had the privilege of interviewing artists from around the world and making some beautiful friendships. I grew up on a dairy farm in rural NSW, and the peace I find in nature still inspires so much of what I create today.

I'm looking forward to connecting with other artists, continuing to learn, and being part of a community that understands the ups and downs of a creative life.😊
