Welcome to The Greenhouse

‘When you tend a rose my lad, a thistle cannot grow.’

Hi, I'm Lauren

Founder,  Greenhouse By Lauren

And it's wonderful to have you here.

I invite you to step out of the cold that is the daily grind of life, and into my warm and welcoming Greenhouse.

I am passionate about developing creativity and self-expression in my students, through the visual arts. It's what gives rise to confidence and critical thinking in adults.  And it’s that mantra that I carry through into my art classes and online membership today.

Inspire your creativity to ever soaring new heights in one of my watercolour/black ink art classes:
🌎 Online to the world in my Evergreen classes
🙋🏻‍♀️ Or In-person here in my hometown of the Gold Coast, Australia.

(See more details of my classes below.)

Whether you're a beginner, or an experienced creative whose spirit has grown weary, my classes are for you.  

GOLD COAST CLASSES

Art classes where the women of the Gold Coast, Australia, get to take their crayons back after years of giving them away! With a focus on nurturing the creative spirit, progress rather than perfection, and the building of self-confidence in both the art room and beyond!

EVERGREEN MEMBERSHIP

It's here that I take my mantra online. Whether you're after a monthly membership OR just wish to be a casual visitor, and you live anywhere in the world, Evergreen is for you. My community and I meet to create easy art once a month. With a focus on nurturing the creative spirit, progress rather than perfection, and the building of self-confidence in both the virtual art room and beyond! There are also a plethora of video tutorials, and downloadable resources, where I help you open the door to your creative genius ✨, all accessed at your leisure in between art meetups.

BLACK PEN DOODLE:

FREE ART JOURNALING

Some see creativity as a natural talent. I see it as a well-honed habit.

Just like a beautiful garden needs constant nurturing and care, so does your creative spirit.

Everyone IS creative, but you must be prepared to give it the regular playtime it yearns for, so that you can reap the rich benefits it provides.

Think back to those days you created as a child. How you'd squeal with joy over the effortless stickmen you drew.

🤸🏽‍♀️ No hesitation.
🤸🏽‍♀️ No judgement.
🤸🏽‍♀️ Just pure fun!

And with that fun grew a deep rooted confidence like no other.

But then adulting happened, and soon your carefree creative days were over.

Over time, you watched your confidence dip, and your frustration & procrastination (to mention but a few) grow.

Bring back that carefree creative practice with regular visits to my Greenhouse, accessing my free resources, and affordable classes.

Say goodbye to the sad days. And hello to the glad, where a consistent creative flame is always easy to ignite when you need it. 

Your creative confidence is at an all time low. You'd love an art class that promotes sustainable, abundant, innovative growth in a warm and welcoming space.

Or you’ve reached the flowering stage, but your creative spirit isn't as prolific as you’d hoped. You seek to express yourself more through your artwork.

Or you have outgrown your pot, and it’s time for a complete creative refresh. 

Whatever stage you’re at in your creative journey,
I’d love to hear from you. If you have any questions please message me via the button below.
