Earth Mumma Studio and Gallery Coming Soon to the Surf Coast
Looking ahead, you will have the opportunity to join us on creative retreat at our farmland in Boonah, nestled within the breathtaking, lush ranges of the Otways. The vision for the Earth Mumma Studio and Gallery is born from a desire to merge raw, nature-based consciousness with artistic exploration. Here, we are repurposing a rustic barn into an expansive creative studio and gallery space—a sanctuary dedicated to the creative arts, slow living, and community connection. Surrounded by morning mists, ancient forests, and abundant wildlife, Earth Mumma Studio and Gallery will serve as an inspiring destination for makers to gather in workshops and retreats, and draw deep, direct inspiration from the intelligence of the earth itself.
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. ”― Carl Gustav Jung
