About Desire
.Hi, I'm Desirè. I'm an Italian scenic artist with over 15 years of experience creating painted scenery for theatres, opera productions and large-scale artistic projects. Today I also work in Australia’s most renowned theatres while continuing my studies in yoga, mindfulness and human wellbeing. Throughout my career I realised that many people don't stop creating because they lack talent—they stop because they become afraid of making mistakes. That's why I created The Art Alchemist. My approach combines professional artistic techniques with mindfulness, curiosity and self-expression. Whether you'
Want to learn acrylics, illustration, scenic painting or digital art, my goal isn't only to teach you how to paint. It's to help you rediscover the creative part of yourself that has always been there. I believe creativity isn't a gift for a few people. It's something we can all reconnect with when we learn to slow down, observe and enjoy the process.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a professional artist facing creative blocks, or simply someone looking to reconnect with your creativity, I'll guide you on a personalised artistic journey. After more than 15 years working as a professional scenic artist, I realised that most people don't stop creating because they lack talent—they stop because they're afraid of making mistakes or being judged. This inspired me to create The Art Alchemist Method, my own teaching approach that blends professional artistic training with mindfulness, helping students build strong technical foundations while reconnecting with their authentic creative voice. Together, we'll explore drawing, painting and creative techniques in a supportive, judgment-free environment. We may begin each lesson with a short mindfulness practice to quiet the mind, cultivate presence and enter a creative flow before putting brush to canvas. Art asks us to be vulnerable. It invites us to let go of perfectionism, embrace imperfection and discover that our most authentic expression often lies beyond our fears. My role is to guide you through that process with patience, encouragement and practical artistic skills. You don't need to be perfect to make art—you simply need to be yourself. If it resonates with you, I'm also happy to incorporate intuitive practices such as oracle or tarot cards as creative prompts for reflection and inspiration. If that's not your style, we'll simply let the brushes do the talking.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Desire both personally and professionally, and I’ve seen firsthand the passion, creativity and dedication she brings to everything she does. She is an exceptionally talented artist with an incredible eye for detail, composition and design. More importantly, she has the rare ability to break down her creative process into simple, easy-to-understand steps that make learning enjoyable and accessible.
What I appreciate most about Desire’s teaching is that she tailors her approach to each student. She understands that everyone learns differently and takes the time to adapt her methods so each person feels supported and confident. She is patient, encouraging and creates a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, experimenting and developing their own artistic style.
I’ve seen her guide others through creative challenges with genuine enthusiasm and care. Rather than simply showing someone what to do, she helps them understand why something works, building both technical skills and confidence. Her passion for art is contagious, and it’s impossible not to leave one of her lessons feeling inspired to create.
I wholeheartedly recommend Desire as a tutor. She combines exceptional artistic ability with kindness, patience and professionalism, making her an outstanding teacher. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, you’ll be learning from someone who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely invested in helping you reach your full creative potential.I have known Des both personally and professionally since she arrived in Australia, and couldn’t speak more highly of her. She has a warm, gentle, authentic and inspiring nature and if you get the chance to work with her then you should take it!
Desire is a reliable person who demonstrates strong commitment and responsibility. She is very friendly, communicate clearly, show patience, and have a supportive attitude, which are all essential qualities for a great teacher.
Desire is an incredible Italian tutor! She has a warm and friendly personality that makes learning so enjoyable and comfortable. Her passion for teaching shines through in every lesson, and she always goes the extra mile to ensure her students feel confident and supported. She explains concepts clearly and tailors her teaching style to suit individual needs, making the learning experience both effective and fun. I wholeheartedly recommend Desire to anyone looking to learn or improve their Italian—she’s truly the best!
The best empathic and professional teacher i' ve ever met.
