Mission

Art works upon the human soul. There is an increasing need for soul health and wellbeing to help us face the challenges of an increasingly uncertain future. The practice and contemplation of art strengthens our inner forces through strengthening our innate capacity for creativity. It is a method of awakening in the soul life experiences of the spiritual truths in a way that intellectual study cannot match.

Painted Space Studio is led by Dr Fiona Campbell, who brings her extensive research and training in the artistic, therapeutic, and pedagogical aspects of the anthroposophic approach to art to all courses. She believes in artistic practice being an holistic practice that engages the human being in our totality as physical, psychical and spiritual.

The practical components are complemented by her academic research on evolving consciousness, spiritual history, phenomenology, and creative thinking. She also brings a professional understanding of digital media technology and its place in modern artistic practice.

Painted Space was originally the name of Fiona’s mural business. With the advent of online courses, she extended this concept to embrace both our physical and soul space. It is the space we create for ourselves, to tap into the untapped potential within, to make room for new things to arise out of ourselves and our connections with the worlds in which we live.
