The By Jove Journal
Welcome to By Jove Creative, Our Little School of Art - Where We Art from the Heart
If you’ve stumbled upon By Jove Creative, take this as your official welcome hug - the kind where someone hands you a paintbrush and a cuppa and says, “Don’t worry, perfection isn’t on the agenda.”
I’m Chantelle, the heart and (slightly paint-splattered) hands behind By Jove Creative. Around here, we believe creativity isn’t just about making something pretty - it’s about the process. It’s about tuning into who you are underneath all the noise, stepping away from the daily grind, and reconnecting with your goals - whether they’re creative or personal. Art has this wild, wonderful way of helping us rediscover ourselves, our purpose, and each other.
What We Offer
At By Jove Creative, we blend fun, art, therapy, and community in a way that’s approachable, inclusive, and yes - a little bit magical.
Art Teachings – Find your creative voice by learning to paint, sculpt, or create with your hands and heart. No pressure - just exploration, laughter, and a chance to experiment with different mediums and techniques.
Art Therapy – For those craving deeper healing in a private setting, we offer gentle, therapeutic sessions to help you process, express, and reconnect - one brushstroke at a time.
Art-Based Support Work – For individuals needing extra support, we bring creativity and care directly to you. (Yes, I travel throughout the Northern Rivers and Southern Gold Coast regions - and I come armed with art supplies and good vibes.)
The Community We’re Creating
My dream for By Jove Creative is simple - to build a local community where creativity feels accessible to everyone. A place where children, adults, families, and even those who “can’t draw a stick figure to save their lives” can find joy, healing, and connection through art.
You don’t need to be a Picasso to start creating - think of it like working a muscle. With a little practice each week, you’ll be amazed at what you can create!
Our workshops are full of laughter, deep conversations, and that satisfying feeling of actually learning something new - all with plenty of heart. Because art doesn’t care if you colour outside the lines. In fact, that’s exactly where the magic happens.
A Final Brushstroke
Whether you come to learn, heal, connect, or simply escape the world for a little while, you’re welcome here.
This is your invitation to join our creative community - attend a workshop, book a session, or simply follow along as we paint, sculpt, and grow together.
Because around here, we believe that every story (and every person) is a masterpiece in progress.
Welcome to By Jove Creative. Let’s make something beautiful.
With all the colours,
