Student Success
Your Zen Art Sensei
Jacqueline Hill
Multi-Award Winning Artist & Author
Someone help me — I can’t stop painting!
Nice to meet you! I’m Jacqui, your Art Zen Sensei. My life’s passion is to bring more joy into the world with every artwork I paint and every student I mentor.
Students are amazed when their mind discovered the joy of creativity and they feel happier and more fulfilled in their lives. I can help you get past all the hurdles that have hindered your art in the past through my simple yet effective method: inner mind awareness (the secret) plus structured learning of skills (how), materials (what) and processes (which, when and where) with a deep understanding (why).

FAQ
I've never done Oil before — will I be ok?
YES! We cater for absolute beginners. Most of the people in the class will be in the same boat. You will find these classes very gentle and kind on people who are completely new to painting. You will be amazed at what you will learn in a supportive and positive learning environment.
How do I join the Live (In-Person or Zoom) Classes?
We currently have a limited number of in-person spaces available at our studio on Sugars Rd, Bellbowrie in Brisbane, Australia.
You can also join in via the video Zoom app. It's free to download and can be used on your phone, tablet or computer.
In the future, we look forward to be able to open up more Live spaces in our physical studio in Brisbane. Contact us here to find out more or get on a waiting list.
How do I join the Anytime (Online Video) Classes?
Just sign up to the course you want and you'll be able to access all your class recordings, resources and more under "My Dojo" over at dojo.zenartart.com.
What materials do I need?
We have a range of quality painting and potting materials an equipment in our studio, and post Australia-wide. All our Pathways come with suggested material kits so you'll always have everything you need.
We always recommend buying the best quality paints you can afford. They will make your artworks look really amazing and boost your confidence.
Do you teach children?
All our classes are available for ages 16 and up!
Our Mini Courses and Anytime classes are great options for those who are keen to explore their inner creativity around school and other commitments.
We sometimes run evening Live classes and weekend workshops that may suit keen teens from age 16. You can sign up here to stay in the loop of our upcoming classes.
My teaching builds the ability to see what is truly there, so I can guarantee that their drawings (and/or paintings) would improve out of sight, and they will learn skills they can use for a lifetime.
I have another question...
No problem! You can contact us about anything here.
