Creating beautiful reasons to light up, Moments you can FEEL, and art you get to be part of.

Artful Addiction exists for that moment when somebody looks in the mirror and smiles.

Artful Addiction brings colour, imagination and professional artistry into celebrations, transforming guests into part of the experience itself.

We care about beautiful work, genuine connection, joyful participation and leaving people with the memory of how the moment felt.

We believe creativity is a form of magic, and that with a wave of our paintbrushes, perhaps a sprinkle of glitter, and a whole lot of heart, we can make the world a little brighter, one person at a time.

“For a rosary of moments, she gets to live as a flower dragon, and that transforms her and the fruits of her life. It is a gift beyond the painting.

You grace them with a holy transformation: living who they authentically are for this moment in time, maybe forever. Your gift is the invitation to try on skins to find out which one fits.

The lines are long because this is an initiation we have lost, and the children will show us the way. You provide that medicine.

Your work, too, is the accumulated experience of the many skins you have tried on.”
