Welcome to my Art Diary!
*Start here*
A place for creative inspiration and research, art adventures, ephemera, DIY projects, and creative career musings by artist and designer Kitiya Palaskas.
Burnt out by social media’s algorithms and relentless pace, I’ve returned to my original love of blogging and longer form content as an antidote. This Art Diary is a way for me to reconnect with the concept of sharing my creativity with the world in a way that is refreshing, nourishing, and meaningful to me, and hopefully also to you!
My name is Kitiya Palaskas, I’m an artist, designer, maker, and author based in Melbourne, Australia. I’ve been running my design practice Kitiya Palaskas Studio for the past 15 years, creating props, installations, illustrations, and digital content for brands all over the world. Everything I make celebrates handmade culture and techniques in all forms, and I am passionate about contributing to keeping handmade skills alive through my work, and spreading joy and delight through my colourful and playful projects.
Feel free to reach out and say hello!
What to expect from this Art Diary
I write about creative projects I’m working on in both my professional and personal life, inspiration and research I’ve collected, DIYs you can try, musings about being a full-time freelance artist/designer/maker, thoughts on maintaining wellbeing and balance as a creative, adventures I’ve been on, and all the creative things I find and collect along the way.
