Paint with Ping

Ping Carlyon, the creator behind Studio Ping, is an artist based in Gladstone who launched her business three years ago. With a passion for watercolour spanning two decades, Ping has recently delved into acrylic and oil mediums. ” I love all subjects, still life, portraits, animals and especially my own style, I named it ribbons,” she explains. Currently collaborating with Tom Holden, a digital and drawing artist, Ping is preparing for a joint exhibition showcasing her ribbon-themed works. ” This exhibition will be in November 2024, at the Blue Mirror Gallery. We had been working very hard for it, I can’t wait to see everything on the wall. Very excited” Ping states.

Ping balances her time between her part-time role at the Blue Mirror Café and teaching workshops on the weekends, which serves as both a means of supporting herself and nurturing her artistic endeavours. “I’m very lucky that I love all my jobs,” she reflects. ” But finding times between jobs and scheduling between my family. That’s probably my biggest challenge. I still paint till 9 PM after all my work and chores most days.”
