Hi, I’m Brooke!
After 19 years in a high-pressure career, the weight of constant stress and lived trauma caught up with me. Navigating PTSD forced me to slow down and find a way to heal that didn’t require fixing or explaining myself. Textured art entered my life not as a business idea, but as therapy. A grounding practice that helped quiet my mind and reset my nervous system.
As my confidence grew, I began creating and selling my work, even exhibiting pieces along the way. Eventually, I started teaching textured art, both in person and through online courses, and that’s when I noticed something powerful happening. People weren’t just creating art; they were relaxing, laughing, connecting, and leaving lighter than when they arrived.
That experience became the foundation of Tipsy Textures.
Today, I host relaxed, fun-filled textured art workshops and online courses designed to feel more like a girls’ night out than a traditional art class. With a glass in hand and no pressure to be “good at art,” you’ll learn the foundations of textured art in a supportive, welcoming space, wherever you’re joining from.
Tipsy Textures is about more than paint and plaster. It’s about creativity as therapy, connection as medicine, and giving yourself permission to slow down and rediscover your spark.
Whether you’re here to unwind, learn a new skill, or reconnect with yourself, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
My Mission
My mission is to bring textured art into the homes and lives of people craving a creative outlet, a moment of calm, or a gentle form of therapy. Through teaching this versatile art form, I aim to show how creativity can soothe the nervous system, spark confidence, and open doors to new hobbies or side income, at any age and stage of life. At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief in normalising and humanising mental health conversations, while creating fun, relaxed, social spaces where people can let loose, connect, and create together. Because creativity and connection aren’t luxuries, they’re essential to our wellbeing.
My vision
My vision is to build a world where creativity is seen as essential, not optional, where textured art is a trusted tool for self-expression, healing, and connection. I envision Tipsy Textures as a welcoming space that empowers people to explore their creativity with confidence, turn passion into possibility, and feel supported at every stage of life. Through workshops, online learning, and community, I aim to inspire people to believe that it’s never too late to start something new, reconnect with themselves, and create a life that feels lighter, more joyful, and deeply fulfilling.
