The art effect on your own wellbeing
THE STORY
The idea of G-ArtFx
Hi there! I'm Giulia, better known as Julia. Originally coming from the charming town of Finale Emilia near Bologna, Italy, I'm now nestled in the serene beauty of Byron Bay. As an artist and educator, I've always found joy in creating and sharing my passion for art.
The concept of G-ArtFx began taking shape during the challenging times of the Covid pandemic back in 2020. It was a period of profound reflection for many, including myself, as I observed the loneliness and isolation experienced by so many. It was during this time that I rediscovered the therapeutic power of painting as a means to unwind and alleviate stress.
Driven by a desire to extend support beyond the canvas, I pursued studies in mental health, earning my Mental Health First Aid certificate in 2021. While I'm not a psychologist, I've often found solace in simply lending an empathetic ear and offering support where I can. My journey led me to embark on further studies in Counselling, a path I believe will greatly enhance my ability to contribute meaningfully to my community.
Through my years of teaching art classes and work as a support worker, I've been heartened to witness the transformative impact of creative expression and shared experiences. It was in these moments that the vision for G-ArtFx crystallized – a platform to offer these enriching services to a wider audience, fostering connection and well-being through art and community.
THE FUTURE I SEE
