The Sustainable Canvas Book launches 17th March for those who get frozen in overwhelm and need a quiet reset, for those who don't journal with words & for the active relaxer.

A few years ago, I binge listened to the SHE-talks podcast and remember thinking, I need to be in this space one day. I really wanted to enter these awards last year, but the awards didn’t run in 2025, so finding out Sustainable Canvas has been named in the Top 100 for 2026 was an instant ugly cry moment.
This business takes up the majority of my time. The compounding effect can feel slower when you’re building it alongside three kids, an art business, school runs, sport, emails, orders, launches and all the very unglamorous parts that happen behind the scenes.
But Sustainable Canvas is a business I run with so much purpose.
It exists to give artists better options, to turn recycled plastic into professional art materials, to build something circular, useful and genuinely meaningful within the creative industry.
A huge thank you to SHE-com | Community for Women in E-Commerce for this recognition, and to every person who follows along, shares a post, places an order, sends encouragement, or chooses Sustainable Canvas for their studio.
It all matters more than you know.
Top 100. I’m still pinching myself 🤍

Palette peels 🤝 tape peels
The art world’s most underrated hobby. 😂🎨
Not only does taping the edges of your paintings in the Sustainable Canvas Book give it a nice finish, it helps keep the books neat with messy little painters & they love the tape peel ❤️❤️

When the fresh paint hits the palette & feels there’s a plan. (Most of the time I do not have one)

These recycled plastic artist palettes are made in Australia and designed for painters who’d rather spend more time creating and less time cleaning up. 🎨✨

Perfect weather for a misty, foresty, magical painting reveal.

I’m pretty stoked with this one! She started out with completely different colours and wasn’t quite coming together. So I painted over the whole thing and started again.

One of those times when the paint behaves in crazy ways and moves like it’s alive, all I can do is go with the flow and let it unfold.

I decided against a frame as it just seemed to chop off the lofty, airy, open sky feel. I think I made the right choice but I’m keen to hear what you think. Let me know!

Progress can feel invisible for so long..then suddenly, it start to catch.
If you’re in the messy middle with your art right now, keep going. Every brushstroke, every experiment, every unfinished piece is still teaching you something.
You’re not failing. You’re building rhythm that future you will thank you for.
Save this for days when progress feels slow.
