A cosy, creative space where art comes to life for curious young minds.

​

Born from the vision of artist and educator Isabelle Moreau, Lavender Leonardos grew from the roots of her much-loved children’s art school, Quirky Birds in Sydney, and Lavender Print School in London. Her dream was to create a nurturing environment where children could explore art in a hands-on, joyful, and imaginative way—and so, Lavender Leonardos was born.

​

At our core is a small, friendly team of artists and creatives who are passionate about sharing their love of art with the next generation. We believe in teaching strong foundational techniques while encouraging creative thinking, and the enjoyment of the creative process. Whether children are building confidence in drawing, experimenting with printmaking, or painting their own masterpieces, we guide them to develop real skills in a relaxed and supportive environment.

​

Our studio is a warm and welcoming haven tucked away from the fast pace of modern life—a place where children can slow down, get messy, and fully immerse themselves in making art. We offer workshops all year round—during school hours, after school, at weekends, and through the holidays. We also host birthday parties and offer private tuition for those who’d like a more personalised experience.

Founder and Director Izzy Moreau is a mixed media artist and art lecturer with over twenty years’ experience teaching both children and adults. Her rich background spans theatre, television, and international artist residencies. In recent years, her own work has been inspired by marine wildlife conservation, bringing another layer of meaning and care into our creative ethos.

​

Our classes are designed for children who have a deep curiosity and love for art—whether they’re just beginning or already showing artistic flair, we’re here to nurture their journey.
