Workshops with Rochelle Summerfield

My creative practice begins in the landscape—walking, observing, responding to the quiet stories told by trees, rivers, and the spaces between. These workshops are an extension of that practice. They invite you to slow down, to draw with curiosity, and to connect more deeply with the natural world around you. Held in beautiful locations across the region and online, each workshop offers a gentle, process-based approach to drawing—no pressure for perfection, just space to explore, play, and discover your own creative language.

Rochelle Summerfield is a professional exhibiting artist and experienced arts educator with over thirty years of practice. She has delivered engaging workshops for adults, children, and people with disability through a range of community programs and taught visual arts at TAFE NSW for over twenty years. Rochelle brings warmth, creativity, and a wealth of knowledge to her teaching, so come along and be inspired!

“Your professionalism, knowledge, and expertise, with your generosity and support.
It’s the generosity of our teachers who guide and inspire us.”
