✨Colour My Way Artist Spotlight ✨

Meet Amy, who joined Colour My Way in January 2026 and attends our Blacktown and Liverpool Colour My Way program.

Amy loves painting on canvas, paint-by-numbers, and gem art.

Her proudest artwork is a painting of her two dogs, which took four weeks to complete.

Amy says: "I find painting is relaxing and it feels good to have fun."

Amy enjoys seeing friends, sharing artwork, and getting creative with support from the Colour My Way team, Daniela and Lyndon.

Colour My Way is a free art program for adults with intellectual disability, available across all Self Advocacy Sydney offices.

Last week, our Peer Support groups in Blacktown and Liverpool spent time reflecting on National Reconciliation Week.

National Reconciliation Week is a time to learn about the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

During the sessions, we talked about:

• The history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

• Why it is important to acknowledge and respect First Nations people

• What reconciliation means and why it matters

• How we can work together to create respectful and inclusive communities

We also completed colouring activities based on this year’s National Reconciliation Week theme: All In.
