Art Sessions in the Den

Join Jess Florence, a Tasmanian artist and art therapist, for a relaxed and creative afternoon of paint and sip at Devil’s Corner. With a passion for expressive and intuitive art, Jess creates a welcoming space where participants can explore their own unique creativity. Each session offers a blend of abstract painting and still life, using beautiful elements from nature—such as flowers, shells, and landscapes—as inspiration. No experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and let the painting unfold naturally. All materials are provided.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll be supported in a welcoming, no pressure environment. Come to one, or join the full series - each session stands alone while also offering a chance to build on your creativity over time.
