Hello my name is Petra Meer and welcome to my Illustrators Australia page. I work as an illustrator/artist, arts and wellbeing facilitator and as a counsellor. Art and creativity have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being creative everyday enriches my life and continually sustains my wellbeing for the work that I do in the world with others.
My creative practice is made up of three broad areas: Working creatively wherever possible (often with nature in mind), Using creativity to encourage mindfulness and wellbeing in daily life and, Working creatively and therapeutically with others as a counsellor and group facilitator.
These areas of interest provide the foundation for the workshops I facilitate and teach out in the community. The media and modalities I enjoy sharing include: creative journaling and writing, nature journaling, drawing, illustration, painting, mindfulness practices, and counselling and therapeutic work practices.
I have been commissioned by the Tasmanian and New South Wales Parks and Wildlife Services to illustrate endangered species and bring awareness to fragile ecosystems. I have also run many arts/health based projects and workshops which encourage the joy of art-making for personal growth, meaning making, self care, connectedness, and caring for our natural environment.
