It’s been a little while since I’ve had proper time to sit and paint after our overseas move. Couldn’t go to bed tonight without putting some marks down and I’m glad I did.

Here’s to the beginning of some new work coming to you from Toronto 🇨🇦

Officially sharing the big news ✨

In a fortnight, my little family and I will be embarking on a new adventure and relocating to Canada! 🇨🇦

So many feelings surrounding this big move, after 15 years of living in Australia, where my soul has grown and thrived, where I met my partner and had two daughters.

It will forever bear a mark on me and I am eternally grateful for all this place and people have taught me, especially living on Darkinjung land, Central Coast.

Toronto will bring us closer to our roots in Europe and extended family, and we can’t wait to explore the nature, art, food and everything this next chapter has in store for us.

We will be returning to visit soon enough and I thank all my Australian community for following along with my art so far. I plan on keeping the online shop open and available for international shipping so please keep in touch.

Much love,
Iulia x

It’s hard to imagine why anyone would pour everything they have into building a place for others — until you meet Sar.

From our very first coffee date, it was clear to me she was someone who loves art deeply, believed wholeheartedly in its power, and had made it her mission to bring people closer to it. Whether through exhibitions, a space to come and work and share moments with fellow artists, or even further still, offering long-form residencies of which I’m lucky enough to be a recipient.

At every stage of my residency, Sar’s support was unmatched. Truly selfless, enthusiastic all through the long nights, and driven by the purest desire to help me develop my practice and bring my exhibition to life. I pinched myself every day for having the privilege of working in that gorgeous studio.

It’s not easy to put into words what this has meant to me as a person, as an artist, and as a Central Coast local who has deeply longed for a place like Kamispace. I am forever changed for the better. So grateful to have crossed paths when we did and to become nothing short of soul sisters 🫶

I’m beyond excited to watch Kamispace’s epic upcoming projects come to life, the fun is just beginning.

All my love x thank you

Every piece from my latest body of work titled "Reverie".

We move through the natural world carrying our inner currents with us. What we see shaped by what we feel, what we notice filtered through where we are inside.

"Reverie" is an exploration of that threshold: the dream-like state between truly seeing and simply passing through.
