About

Hello, I'm Tegan Neville — a Creative Arts Therapist, Intuitive Artist and published author based in Ballarat, Victoria.

I created ART from SPIRIT to inspire myself and others to grow and heal from within. My journey into this work began during my recovery from severe perinatal depression, where I discovered the deep healing power of creative expression. Through art, I found a way to connect to my inner voice and rediscover myself. That experience didn’t just support my own healing — it also inspired me to guide others in connecting with themselves through creativity and self-exploration, and in creating space for their inner voice to shine.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed the profound transformation that can happen when we allow what is within us to emerge and be heard. Creating art became a way to listen to my inner voice and reconnect with my own wisdom — and this intuitive process is at the heart of ART from SPIRIT.

In my Art Therapy and Wellness services, I work from a trauma-informed, client-centred and strengths-based approach, supporting both individuals and groups. My offerings include one-on-one art therapy, group sessions, and creative wellbeing programs in schools and health settings.

As an Intuitive Artist, I share my artworks and their accompanying messages in a variety of forms, including my published deck of Self-Discovery Inspirational Cards.

Whether through art therapy or intuitive art, I am passionate about helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom, strengthen your sense of self and capacity to navigate life’s challenges, and discover your own unique gifts.
