About A Colourful Mess

I’m Rony — Psychologist, Artist & Mum — and A Colourful Mess is where all the parts of me come together.

A Colourful Mess was born from years of listening closely — to my therapy clients, to my own children, and to the kindergarten version of myself who once painted a bright abstract picture for the end of year celebration and was told it wasn’t a “proper” picture.

Now, through A Colourful Mess I’m reclaiming my love of playful, intuitive, abstract colour. I create art for kids' spaces that remind children (and the grown-ups they’ll become) that they are allowed to be fully themselves: messy, joyful, emotional, curious, and creative.

My work is inspired by the things my adult therapy clients wish they’d heard as kids - messages of self-worth, safety and freedom - and by what I want my own children to grow up knowing. Each piece is an invitation to come back to our intuitive, wild and authentic selves.

Whether you’re decorating a nursery, a playroom, or a therapy space, I hope these pieces bring joy, comfort, and permission to feel — and maybe even help you reconnect with your own inner kindergarten kid along the way.
