Who is Amy

Welcome to Creative Arts by the sea. 

 

About Amy Kuczynski

Creative Arts Facilitator/ Emerging Artist/ Writer 

 

My heart for seeing you enjoy your life to the fullest is the motivation to provide safe creative spaces within the community for you to flourish, relax and create!

​

Healthy families, communities and safe places are vitally important to wellbeing. We are better together!

​

I am passionate about family, helping people feel they belong, community development and social justice.

​

I believe we are so very blessed firstly to be loved then, to love and be a blessing to others!

​

From the moment I can remember I have always loved

painting, drawing, writing, dancing and creating! An artist/ writer and dancer at heart from a young age, many years of ballet and dance training allowed me to see, hear and experience the beauty and freedom of movement in music and the intricate ability of the body to tell, and share stories and emotions without words. I was always writing stories and making books, writing poems and journaling.

​

Now when I dance, write and create now all for an audience of one with every part of my being I know this is what I was made for! 

 

My background is most recently working in a complex needs support work role and I have also enjoyed many years of working in student and family well-being support services in a primary school setting. University level and tertiary training in the arts, psychology, biomedical science, counselling and community services with trauma informed practices guide my practice while my faith grounds me and lifts me to higher places.

 

Our family passionate about families and community helped found the local Beachmere Kindergarten and Birali Steiner School.  One of our favourite projects was a regional arts development ( RADF) fund grant through Moreton Bay Regional Council which funded and celebrated local Indigenous artists Debbie Taylor and Aunty Minnie Mace Indigenous Elder to build and construct a story sculpture for Beachmere. This special sculpture tells one of the historical stories of the local area of Beachmere about the mullet run. It is displayed out the front of Beachmere Community Hall on Progress Avenue Beachmere for the community to enjoy.  

 

I am excited to work together with my community as a creative arts facilitator and emerging artist and am being mentored by Artist and Writer Wendy Manzo.

​

I look forward to hearing from you via the Contact Form and seeing how we can assist you towards greater freedom and joy on your creative journey!
