A Safe, Welcoming Space

You're invited to experiment, embrace imperfection, and create without judgment in a supportive environment that honors your journey.

About Us

Founded by Surien Fourie

Beyond Creative Studio was born from a deep belief that creativity is not just something we do—it's a language for healing, a bridge to belonging, and a way to honor our stories. As a mixed-media artist, writer, and educator, I create work influenced by Prairie Canadian landscapes, South African heritage, and the quiet power of memory and place. This studio is my offering to women who feel the pull to create with intention, who seek connection over perfection, and who want their art to mean something. Whether through a painting, a class, or a shared moment of reflection, I'm here to hold space for your creative journey.
