15 Apr 2024Vision Board COLLAGE Workshop (18+)
I always really enjoy Rochelle's collage workshops, and while the Vision Board workshop was a different activity to what we had done before it was all handled with the same incredible enthusiasm, sharing and support as her other offerings. I really appreciated getting the plan for the day and the structure worked very well for the Vision Board process. I went home with a finished Vision Board that is beautiful and inspiring and is now hanging on my wall above my desk. Rochelle's studio is truly a magical place that fosters and encourages creativity and a sense of exploration and play that makes the sometimes vulnerable process of making art feel both safe and very fun.

13 Mar 2024KIDS Collage Classes - TERM 1
My daughter adores this collage class. It's the most beautiful studio situated in the stunning backdrop of Montsalvat. Class worth it for the location alone! Teacher Rochelle is so warm and generous with her energy and expertise and helps the kids find their own way of expressing themselves and feeling independent and in control. Thanks Rochelle.

Hi, my name is Rochelle Van Der Merwe

As multi-disciplinary artist, I find exploring ideas through storytelling with imagery & words 

via contemporary collage 

a very effective way of connection 

&

creating a sense of 

BELONGING.


Collage allows us to deconstruct & reconstruct the world how we see it. 

It gives you an opportunity to 

create a new universe

irrespective of how 

small 

or 

large 

it 

is. 


I am especially drawn to how contemporary collage gives new life &meaning 

to pre-used books and imagery

so they no longer lie alone in the corner and gather dust. 

We already have so much in this world, 

so collage offers 

an opportunity 

to 

waste less 

rebuild.


My studio, 

named STORYHOLDING 

is located at the pool in

MONTSALVAT, Australia's oldest continuously active artists' community

In fact, 

it's my MOST FAVOURITE room 

in 

the 

whole, wide world. 

Read all about it HERE!


My work has been featured in both SOLO & group exhibitions


As an immigrant from South Africa & as a trauma survivor,
I am passionate about using art-making 

as a way to thread our connection back to
our authentic selves
&
true expression
.


What drives me, is to share & learn

which is why teaching has always 

drawn me like a magnet.
