Today’s member spotlight is shining on the charcoal covered hands of Brisbane based artist Antoinette Mitchell! Here’s a little snippet from her ‘about’ page:
With my art, I want to speak what my words struggle to say. Life is a miracle - especially when it is mundane … I chose charcoal as a medium to represent the vulnerability of my subjects. Although charcoal is a messy and fragile medium, it was once a strong, fiercely growing entity that endured extreme temperatures to find itself on the other side of survival as a useful tool - providing the opportunity to communicate visually … The flat, colourful sections in my work highlight the stark contrast between our humanness and our environment, between our vulnerability and our strength, and between the miracle and the mundane.

Yes… I love the reasons behind her material choices! So poetic. You can find Antoinette’s available work on her site, and she’s on Instagram at @antoinette_mitchell_artist.
I told my daily subscribers about this yesterday, so I’ll share it with EVERYONE today. There are a few changes happening in my life thanks to therapy, coaching and advice from a few really badass girlfriends. Most of these changes involve my own artwork, but today’s change is about the ART DELIVERY. I’m about to put the subscription price way up, and here’s the list reasons why:
It’s really, really good and totally worth every cent!
Yep, that’s the whole list. The artwork, the daily creative extras, the tight-knit/engaged community… it’s a must-have for your inbox, that you didn’t even know you needed! ;) I happily put so much work into the daily emails, but I think know it’s time to walk the walk when it comes to owning my worth / gettin’ paid. So, if you are on the fence, I’d subscribe now when it’s only $36 for an entire year of content… because on SEPTEMBER 1st, it’s going from $3/month to $10/month. Mic drop!
Have a fantastic weekend ~ Danielle
I agree! TOTALLY. WORTH. IT.
