Healing myself through art therapy

01/08/2026

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who came along to our SALA exhibition opening today. It meant so much to share this special day with you all.
We were truly touched by all the lovely comments. So many people said they enjoyed hearing the stories behind the exhibition and found them interesting, moving, and meaningful. Your kindness and support made the day even more special.

A very special thank you to Terri at the library for all your encouragement and support, to Alexander Cannon OAM, Chairperson of SALA, for the honour of officially opening our exhibition, and to my beautiful cousin and dear friend Shannan for being such a wonderful interviewer and helping bring our stories to life.

We are so grateful to everyone who came, listened, shared in our journey, and celebrated with us. Thank you for making today a day we'll always remember.

With love and heartfelt thanks,

Kylie and Irene ❤️

So proud of of my daughter Javre’ winning best hairdresser in SA❤️❤️ obviously a clear winner in my eyes 🤩

Dropping out at 16 to cut hair turned out to be the smartest career move this Adelaide Hills girl could make, after being voted the state’s best hairdresser. ✂️ READ MORE: https://bit.ly/4fztqC4

This painting title can feel like my thoughts from that magical world rather than a literal landscape.
'Thought Garden '- because it perfectly reflects my thoughts. I often say I never know what is going to come out— I simply begin painting and let your intuition lead. This artwork shows thoughts growing naturally, intertwining like vines, wildflower garden under the sea

My paintings are inspired by the places I love most in South Australia—the Adelaide Hills, our beaches and the outback. I never paint with a fixed plan. I begin with a colour or a feeling, and each brushstroke tells me what comes next. Every painting is an intuitive journey, which is why this exhibition is called It's All in My Head.
