ABOUT SUNNYSIDE ART HOUSE

Educating. Guiding. Inspiring.

We're proud of the reputation that Sunnyside Art House has gained throughout the years. From its humble beginnings with 8 students in a converted garage it has grown over the past 10 years to become an art school where people of all abilities can learn to appreciate art.

Run by artist Fiona Wood from her home studio the school has always been immensely popular with the local community. Fiona sells her artworks through many local stores and online.

Originally an art school for Primary aged children we now specialize in working with NDIS students in a personalized one on one setting.

Fiona's relaxed approach allows students to explore their interests and enjoy the therapeutic benefits that art can bring. Fiona also incorporates animal therapy into her classes introducing students to her many animals. Students can choose to hold them or use them for art inspiration.

Fiona's love of children's art will never cease so she is still offering online tutorials and the occasional event or workshop.

Fiona you are the most amazing person. You have a beautiful way with children to bring out their most gorgeous creative side. Fiona, I can't imagine my daughter being complete without her weekly dose of you and your magical studio.
