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 that reflects the full human experience — messy, emotional, deep and creative — and reminds us to pause and tune in to the essence of who we are.

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 playroom, a living room, a bedroom or a workspace, I hope these pieces bring joy, inspiration and a reminder that there really are no rules when it comes to our creative selves. Maybe they’ll even help you reconnect with your own inner kindergarten self along the way.
