The Midnight Garden sells themed mixed media art and runs workshops/online tutorials to impart knowledge and skills for participants to explore art for themselves. Mental health challenges and traditional therapies can be difficult and exhausting. We believe that art can help in ways that are expressive, enjoyable and relaxing to help restore the spirit.
The Artist
The Midnight Garden is the creation of Australian mixed media artist, Elizabeth. Inspired by a grandfather who painted and a grandmother who embroidered and made beautiful dolls, she learnt to paint, sew and sculpt to create various art pieces from wall-art, to dolls/plush and stand alone sculptures.
Educated in theatre set/prop design and graphic design, Elizabeth brings those skills and a lifelong passion for art to her work.
After a diagnosis of major depression, anxiety disorder and c-ptsd, making art became even more important, and developing an awareness of how creativity can be very healing – The Midnight Garden was created to further explore her creativity and help others find theirs.
