Live An Inspired Life
“Creativity flourishes in a state of inner spaciousness. When we allow ourselves to be still, to be open and to connect with the heart, we discover the wellspring from which all true inspiration flows.” Sharon Salzburg
Founder Joanne Farley-Webb is a Contemplative Fine Artist, Creative Medicine Guide,
Reiki Master (From June 2025) Trained Cacao Ceremony Facilitator, Space Holder, Buddhist and Heart Centred Creative Life Coach. Classically trained at the Royal Academy Of Arts, London her spiritual practice is entwined with her creative art-making process. She offers distraction free, offline, unplugged art classes, group workshops via her private art studio and the Green Door Centre, Bosham as well as many other creative opportunities.
With nearly forty years of lived experience exploring creativity, Joanne walks beside individuals and groups as a gentle guide and teacher. Within the stillness of her private working art studio, she offers both traditional fine art instruction and intuitive, heart-centred ways of working. Her non-clinical, creative pathways to wellbeing are rooted in contemplative practice and the mindful ritual of meditative mark-making. Here, art is a form of medicine fostering deep connection, inner work, and quiet transformation. She is inspired by Kirtan and her paintings honour the
sacredness of the everyday.
In 2020 during the COVID pandemic, Joanne co-founded and implemented an Arts-on-Prescription project in collaboration with My Sisters’ House Women’s Centre, NHS Innovation Primary Trust, NHS West Sussex, Aldingbourne Trust, Pathfinders, and Richmond Fellowship. Funded by Arts Council England and The Big Lottery, this significant and impactful 12-month initiative highlighted the significant benefits of creativity as an intervention,
promoting wellbeing and transformation.

Living a soulful, creative life is both ecstatic and humbling. Those deep, life-recalibrating moments and life tidal waves that shake our core can sometimes be challenging. They often call us to root down, to return to ourselves. Yet within that space and experience lies an opportunity to reveal, affirm, align and bring us into wholeness. Creativity becomes a subtle medicine teacher, gently guiding us home - toward purpose, belonging, and a deep sense of grounding
that unfolds over time.
Contemplative Fine Art is a gentle, mindful approach to creativity - where art becomes a form of meditation, inner listening and soulful expression. Rooted in presence rather than performance, this practice invites you to slow down, tune in, and let your brush, pencil, or hand move from a place of deep connection. It’s not about proving anything. It’s about coming home.
It’s about slipping quietly into that sacred, inner space where your soul can finally take a deep breath and speak through your hands. Of being fully, tenderly here. You pick up your brush, your pencil, your fingers - whatever feels right - and you let them move, not because you have something to prove, but because you have something to feel. Each mark becomes a prayer, a whisper, a sigh. Not perfect. Not polished. Just real. Just yours. This is your sacred pause. A quiet meeting place where stillness and creativity hold hands. And oh, what beauty lives there.
The Peaceful Paintbrush welcomes artists, dreamers, neurodivergent thinkers, and soul-led creatives who are done with burnout, perfectionism, and trying to do it all “the right way.” This is a space to slow down, reconnect, and create from a place of truth - not pressure. Joanne combines real-world know-how with grounded holistic wisdom practices. She helps you build a creative life that actually works for you - one that reduces isolation, is anchored and aligned with who you really are.
Whether you want to awaken something deeper, learn meditation, journey with Cacao, pick up a paintbrush, build a website, connect with your inner artist, write a funding application - or finally (finally!) carve out time for your own wellbeing - Joanne’s right there with you. No pressure. No judgment. Just grounded tools, clear direction, and real, honest encouragement to help you take that next step. This isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about showing up - exactly as you are - and having the courage to create from that place. Because that’s where the real transformation begins.
All clients paint alongside Joanne at her art studio as she develops her ongoing body of work and projects. This real world collaborative approach fosters a dynamic creative environment where participants actively engage in the artistic process and arts business, gaining insight into professional practice while contributing to a shared journey of exploration and expression.
Joanne's paintings arise from an ongoing, intuitive enquiry into form and formlessness, and the path of self-transformation. Each work belongs to a perpetual unfolding: a series of inward metaphysical explorations expressed through streams of consciousness Asemic writing, iridescent metallic mediums, resin, rhinestones and reflective particles that shift with the light.
As the light moves, so too do the images; at times they shimmer into being, and they also dissolve, disappearing into silence. This dance between the seen and unseen invites the viewer into stillness into the liminal space where perception meets devotion, and where the boundary
between the inner and outer world softens.
