Gather & Create 2026
At The Shed Studio
I am an artist, teacher and creative guide, and at the heart of my work is a simple belief: we are all born creative. Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to doubt that truth. Fear, comparison and perfectionism quietly pull us away from our natural urge to create. My role is to help you find your way back.
Creativity is not about talent or technique alone. It is about connection — to yourself, to your inner voice, and to the quiet wisdom that lives beneath the noise of everyday life. When we reconnect with our creativity, we reconnect with our soul essence, and from that place we begin to feel more grounded, confident and alive. Creativity becomes a way of listening, healing and shining more brightly in the world.
Creative freedom comes from letting go of the need to get it “right”. It is about releasing perfection and allowing your own style, rhythm and expression to emerge naturally. There is no single way to create, only your way — shaped by your experiences, feelings and curiosity.
Through my *Gather and Create* workshops, I offer supportive, nurturing spaces where you are guided gently and encouraged fully. I share techniques, ideas and inspiration to help unlock your imagination, but the focus is always on self-expression rather than rules. Whether you are just beginning or returning to creativity after a long pause, you are welcome here.
Each workshop is designed so that you leave not only with a finished piece of artwork, but with a deeper sense of trust in your creative voice — and something that feels truly yours, and something you can be proud of.
"Gather & Create" is an invitation to come as you are, and to rediscover the joy of creating for the sake of it.
Join me for half day, full day or 2 day creative experiences.

Find your Creative Soul
You don’t have to be “good at art”, you don't even have to have had any experience. In these Creative Soul Art Retreats you won’t learn how to draw or paint. You will be shown how to start creating by renowned artist, illustrator and creative guide, Jane Marin. These retreats are designed to show that each of us has an inner artist.
Unveil your own creative soul and create a piece that is personal and unique to you in a fun, safe and relaxing environment. Tune in to your heart and let your art choose you.
Small groups, personal guidance all materials and morning teas provided.

What people are saying
"I loved Jane's art experience. I call it that because it was so much more than an art class. The process of creating the art piece was a wonderful experience and could definitely be considered a form of therapy, very healing if that's what you need. I look at my artwork every day." A.B
"Hi Jane, I just wanted to say a big thankyou for today. I haven't felt so grounded and like myself in a long time. It was magic." L.S
"I can't believe how much fun my class was last week. I actually switched off and enjoyed myself so much. I guess the disbelief is that I haven't done that for a few years." LM
