Real Artist Studios

Welcome to my personal channel—I share not only vibrant oil paintings inspired by Australia’s raw landscapes and people but also the deeper journey behind each brushstroke. Colour is more than visual — it’s a language revealing what words cannot. From a young age, I carried a quiet certainty—an inner knowing that needed no validation. I didn’t wait for permission to trust my instincts or lead. That trust became my compass through failure, change, and growth. I believe purpose is something we remember—buried beneath conditioning and fear. Our true path has always been there, waiting to be reclaimed. This channel invites you to see art as a mirror of your own unfolding story, with demos, behind-the-scenes insights, and honest talks on living creatively and authentically. Whether artist, colour lover, or curious, you’re warmly welcomed here.

This week, I’m introducing a new section on my YouTube channel called Art Talk —
a space to explore how creativity and mindfulness can help us facilitate real change.

Got a question about how art can help you reconnect or rebuild?
Drop it below — I’ll be answering them in the upcoming Art Talk series.

There are no names on the artworks, all artist details are on the back of the A5 card. So it's all about buying art that makes you FEEL, makes you MOVE, gets you EXCITED....well you get the drift. And best of all they are priced very very very very affordably!!! How much you ask? A bargain $100 AUS!!!!!!

If you do happen to purchase one of my artworks, please let me know. Would love to see it framed and in situ. (just some loving common sense. DO NOT place artworks in direct sunlight or a well loved cooking kitchen! )



Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Best Creative Loving Hugs, Mirjana.

"I sit here in the upper circle surrounded by copper and gold, and smile with joy under my fly net as all the light, glory and quivering brightness passes slowly and freely before my eyes", Arthur Streeton.

Always a pleasure being in the company of #arthurstreeton The more I look, the more detail I see. Even thought I have seen these artworks and many others, numerous times, I always find something new, learn something new, see something new. I leave inspired, energised, deeper sense of connection......... 

Fabulous spending time with artist from an era gone by: Streeton, McCubbin, Bunny, Matisse, Olley, and more.....Thank you to the @artgalleryofnsw for a wonderful day.

Inspiration at my door step, local farm visit. With my work boots on, good hat sun protection, yellow as far as the eye can see, bees buzzing about, a chook or two and the most friendliest farm dog known to man, this was a beautiful day out!!!! New VLOG coming soon, as well as, a sunflower still life painting.

A work of art always begins with a strong emotion, expressed through bold vibrant colour. Keep pushing paint about, with new ideas comes a new adventure. Happy Painting everyone.
