Welcome to JBJ Creative Connections Studios

Our vision is to create a worldwide arts community that provides opportunities for the growth and development of creative expression to every participant!

Stop learning art skills the hard way!

Too many artists and creators have learnt  their skills by trial and error or watching YouTube tutorials,

never connecting with other creatives and sharing ideas and never showing their work beyond their own friends and family. 


The problem with this is that there is no sense of community, no exchange of ideas and information, and the rest of the world misses out seeing their work.


JBJ Creative Connections Studios is a welcoming, inclusive space allowing artists to develop their skills through classes, studio sessions, workshops, and community connection. Join our thriving art community and who knows what inspiration you might pick up?!

New Paragraph

A woman is standing in front of a painting of a coral reef.

In 2021 when Founder, Jackie Jansen relocated to Ungarie – a tiny village in the remote farming area of New South Wales, she found herself feeling isolated and desperately missing the vibrant arts community that she had come from. Jackie looked around for local art groups to join but only found one other artist nearby. Surely she wasn’t the only one who felt this way!


Being just a year from retirement age, Jackie decided rather than spend a year in a job she didn’t enjoy, she would create a community for all artists, a space where everyone could connect with teachers, mentors, and artistic peers. A space where all you need is an internet connection and the desire to create.
