About us

The Art of Flow Creative Community was born out of a desire to share & connect with others who are on a path of creative discovery...
to help spark and encourage beautiful ways to explore art in a joyful and nurturing space...

Gabbi Kitchener

Hi, I'm Gabbi and I'm delighted to invite you to join me on this creative adventure.

I am a painter and enjoy working in an intuitive and spontaneous way. 

For almost 20 years, I have been teaching children & adults, supporting them to connect to their own creativity and artistic freedom. I have worked with thousands of people and have witnessed their personal transformations.

My personal creative journey has been an awakening and deepening of perception and sensitivity. I'm delighted by the moments, glimpses, of being in an altered state, meditative and dreamy... I love that mysterious feeling.

I strive to create an environment that will support each participant and their unique process.

My intention is to be completely open and to freely spread the positive effect that living creatively can have on us.

I truly believe that every one of us is a creative being. Nourishing and nurturing this in ourselves can enhance our lives and those around us.

Lainie Young

My name is Lainie. I’m a visual artist living in Sydney. I’ve spent most of my life with a camera in hand and more recently discovered intuitive painting. I absolutely love the layering process- what it reveals personally and discovering how it relates to life. 

Painting has opened up a whole new landscape. It continues to speak to my Spirit, inspiring and challenging my connection to Self and the world around me.

Leanne O'Loughlin

Hi, I'm Leanne. I first began assisting at Gabbi's in-person workshops about eight years ago, and it ignited a deep curiosity in me for intuitive art. Since then, I’ve loved witnessing both my own and others’ unique creativity unfold.

It’s inspiring to know that we are all innately creative—capable of producing beautiful, surprising, and deeply personal works of art. I’m grateful to be part of the Art of Flow team and this vibrant, wholehearted community.

For me, intuitive painting is an opportunity to embrace what truly lights us up. As Elizabeth Gilbert beautifully says: “Do whatever brings you to life. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart.”

Jools Bishop

Based in the beautiful Blue Mountains, I've been a FLOW-er for almost three years. In October 2024, Gabbi's inaugural Blue Mountains retreat in Leura opened my heart and intuition, loosening my grip on perfectionism and enabling a return to creative exploration. Also a much longed for connection with like minded artistic souls. Like many FLOW-ers, I explored creative pursuits in younger years and even studied art and design. "Life" happened and I became more of a shadow artist (visual and written). Now, thanks to Gabbi and the Art of Flow team, I'm out of the shadows and my creativity is growing and flowing. It's my happy place.
