My Happy Place is in Nature

Ersilia is the Founder of The Laneway Studios. For a number of years, she has been creating spaces to support multi passionates and sensitive creators to do more of what they love. Asked by the current owners of the Laneway to bring some creativity to an underutilised building that had been empty for 3 years she has made a studio within the building.
Ersilia never set out to become an artist. She was drawn to it. Through creating spaces for others it fueled her own inner artist. About 5 years ago, she simply felt an urge to draw. Beginning with mandalas - circles unfolding into patterns, shapes and forms - something opened up in her.
" I found myself drawn into the process"


Life wasn't meant to be a struggle but a place to fuel your passion

Today her creative practice moves between paper, oil, acrylic, board and canvas, with flowers becoming a particularly powerful and recurring inspiration. For her flowers represent so much more than beauty. they speak of spirituality, connection, evolution and the incredible strength of nature - the tiny seed pushing its way through the earth, finding the light and eventually blooming. "they remind me of my journey of simplicity, resilience and the natural world"
