Meaningful Connections Through Creativity

Creativity Has the Power to Bring People Together


Canvas Connection was founded by artist Sharon Dawson, from a passion for art, animals and the simple joy of sharing experiences with others. Our aim is to create memorable, relaxed and engaging experiences where people can connect, laugh, learn something new and enjoy the freedom of being creative.

We are located in Orangeville NSW, but can and do travel. We tailor your experience to the venue, whether a cat sanctuary, dog sanctuary or donkey rescue for FUNdraising, or a corporate environment for a team-building exercise.

Creativity has the power to bring people together

From our much-loved:

  🎨 Paint & Pat experiences, where art meets the magic of animal connection, to
  🎨 Workplace team-building events, functions and parties, or
  🎨 Wildlife-inspired art,
  🎨 Floral workshops, and
  🎨 Community FUNdraising,
there is an experience to suit every occasion!

Whether you're planning a:

  🎨 workplace Christmas party,
  🎨 social gathering with friends,
  🎨 family celebration,
  🎨 school holiday activity, or
  🎨 fundraiser for a cause close to your heart,
we bring people together through the enjoyment of creating something unique.

No experience needed to paint realistic animals!

No artistic experience is needed, and there are no expectations of perfection!

Just come along, relax, have fun and let your creativity flow!


At Canvas Connection, it is never just about the finished painting.
It's about the conversations shared, the laughter enjoyed, the confidence discovered, and the memories created along the way.

It's more than art.
It's connection, creativity and shared experiences.
