About The Artist
Hello! I'm Sonja. I’ve always enjoyed some form of creativity throughout my life, having dabbled in many, but I'll be honest, I’ve never thought of myself as an ‘artist’.
I stumbled upon alcohol ink art a few years ago and was just mesmerised! This beautiful art form was definitely for me, with its fluid and abstract nature and the colours were amazing. It was something I just had to try.
Since starting that journey, I’ve added resin art and jewellery to the repertoire and sometimes combine them all together! I’m always learning… new styles, new techniques and love to create unique things every day. My brain doesn't stop pinging with ideas!
Long story short, you don’t have to be a talented ‘artist’ to be able to create beautiful art (in any form), you just need to try, have fun and enjoy the process rather than worrying about the end result. I’m proof that any beginner can create art worthy of admiration.
I hope my art gives you joy!
I do offer introductory workshops on this lovely art form to anyone interested in creating, along with resin art & jewellery creation. Classes are held locally in Razorback at my home studio and I’ve recently started teaching at a local community college too.
Come and join one of my workshops, it’ll be fun & relaxing and let’s create some gorgeous art together. Look forward to seeing you.
Jess Hutchison - Artist
Since introducing The Artist's Wall, many of our patrons have been treated to pieces by the ever so talented Jess Hutchison. Jess' artwork is a permanent fixture in the cafe. Her bright and colourful prints adorn our bar area and have been very popular amongst our customers. All Jess Hutchison art on display in the cafe is available for purchase, inclusive of frame.
A little bit about Jess
Jess Hutchison is a self-taught artist based on the South Coast of NSW. She grew up in the Illawarra and now resides in the Shoalhaven.
Inspired by her surroundings, and with a deep love of colour, her vibrant artworks feature some of Australia's most colourful flora and fauna. She paints in a unique style that blends realism with quirky, loose and colourful lines - and she adds her signature linework eye detailing to most of her birds (a throwback to her make-up artistry background).
Working primarily with acrylic and Posca markers on canvas, she hopes to create a connection and evoke a sense of calm and happiness through her art.

Fairies by Suzi-o
Suzi has been a resident of Picton for nearly 25years. Her background was in office work, publicity and Insurance, however, her real love was in art. In her spare time she was either drawing, painting, writing or baking. Anything to release her creative side.
About 5 years ago she began to use her vivid imagination to create fairies. Her fairies are unique because they are all one of a kind!
Suzi only makes originals. Never two the same!
All her fairies are recorded, tagged, named and photographed, and they are all handmade by her. She loves to use recycled materials. All fairies come in different sizes too.
She also dabbles in felting and makes the odd little creature!
A few fairies are on display at Picton Social so pop down and have a look and support small businesses in the Wollondilly.
Suzi is happy to take orders, so get in touch for a unique and original gift that will last a life time.
