Welcome to Collective Obsessions – where creativity runs wild and community comes first.
We're a creative hub built on passion, paint, a bit of sawdust, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you're an experienced artist or just dipping your toes into the creative world, our studio is your space to play, explore, and grow.
From hands-on workshops to inspiring Creative Open Studio Days, we offer a chance to try new mediums, learn fresh techniques, and connect with fellow makers. We also stock a carefully curated range of products to keep the creativity flowing even after the class ends.
What started as a simple love for creating – painting, building, capturing moments, and telling stories – quickly turned into something bigger. A shared realization that creating isn’t just a hobby... it’s a bit of an obsession. (In the best way possible!)
And so, Collective Obsessions was born. Two passionate art lovers. One vibrant studio. Endless creative possibilities.
Come join us – let’s make a little magic (and maybe a little mess) together.
CAUTION - creating can become an OBSESSION
Rochelle
Growing up with a creative dad and a crafty mum, it’s no surprise that Rochelle had paint, pencils, and art running through her veins from the get-go. She’s dabbled in everything – from charcoal sketches and fashion design to photography – which totally stole her heart. Capturing special moments and turning them into forever memories? Yep, that was her jam.
These days, Rochelle channels her creative energy into all the things – art, nature-inspired pieces using wood, messy magic with flow art, and of course, guiding others on their own creative adventures. Her passion for art (and life in general) is infectious – in the best way!
She’s fuelled by laughter (usually at Jamie’s expense), her deep love for the ocean… okay, fine, the studio too… and maybe a sneaky slice of her own homemade cake. Because yes – she bakes as well as she paints. Overachiever much?
Rochelle’s favourite thing in the world? Watching someone walk into a workshop thinking they’re “not artistic” – then leaving with a grin and a gorgeous piece they made with their own two hands. She lives for those “OMG I DID THAT?!” moments – and she’ll be your biggest cheerleader every step of the way.
Jamie (Mean Boss)
Mean Boss, as most of us call him, is a lover of all things creative, specifically unique, and unusual things. Like Rochelle, Jamie found his passion for creating through photography with a real talent for seeing what others just walk past, enabling him to reach over 30,000 Facebook followers across the globe.
Then, from a love for nature, natural products, and skills passed down from fathers to sons over generations, Jamie started creating natural timber furniture with a difference. Now days, Mean Boss focuses on using a variety of different mediums like, charcoal and resin, to acrylic graphite and timber, all the while trying new and interesting ways to use them.
Jamie is currently taking some much needed R&R while travelling around WA and exploring our gorgeous state. We look forward to him returning as he brings a great sence of humor and fun to the studio.
