About

Please join us for a warm and friendly afternoon as Melbourne artist Wendy Miles celebrates the launch of 'The Art of Beginning Again: Hope, Healing & Joy'.

“Each page is therapy in its own right,” says Adjunct Professor Coral Brown, Cairnmillar Institute, Melbourne.

Wendy began drawing during her experience of breast cancer and realised she had “created something people could return to in difficult moments,” she says.

This visual memoir offers a lightness of touch, is playful, tender, inviting readers to see their own experiences differently. The book blends simple black-and-white illustrations with short, reflective lines.

With a background in nursing, innovation and business, Wendy brings both lived experience and creative sensitivity to her work.

The book is a perfect gift for those in search of joy and inspiration, suited to bedside tables, coffee tables and cosy corners.

Expect a relaxed, meaningful gathering with a touch of fun, conversation, and connection.
