Irene Appleby Barthe Art
Reconnect to your creativity through mixed media art.
I’m Irene Appleby Barthe, an artist, teacher, and guide, helping you uncover layers of meaning through colour, texture, and play.
Join me as we explore intuitive painting, collage, and markmaking, not for perfection, but for connection.
After years away from art, I found my way back, reconnecting through the rhythm of brushstrokes, layers of collage, and the joy of experimenting and creating.
Here, you’ll find mixed media tutorials, process videos, tips and techniques to help you reconnect with your creativity and find meaning in your art.
Whether you’re a lapsed artist rediscovering your spark, or simply seeking a deeper, more personal connection to your work, you’re in the right place.
