I am Agnes Kruze, an artist and transpersonal art therapist, originally from Latvia and now based in Melbourne, Australia.

AS AN ARTIST

I work intuitively. Each piece begins with a mark — a doodle, a brushstroke, a trace of paint — and I follow it without a fixed plan. I don’t decide the story or subject in advance. The image develops in its own way, and meaning often reveals itself later, sometimes weeks after the work is finished.

My work is figurative, narrative and explores emotional and symbolic depth. It explores inner states, personal and collective patterns, and the tension between what is seen and what is felt. Rather than illustrating an idea, I allow images to emerge and speak in their own language. I work across mediums, allowing the emotional tone of each piece to guide how it is expressed.

AS A THERAPIST

I am a qualified and registered transpersonal art therapist, working with a process that goes beyond words.

In sessions, I guide people to explore their inner experience through image, gesture, and creative expression. This is not about making “good” art — it is about accessing what is often difficult to articulate and giving it form.

My role is to hold a focused, non-judgmental space and to track what is emerging, without forcing meaning too quickly. The process allows patterns, emotions, and insights to surface in a way that can be seen, worked with, and understood.

You don’t need to be an artist. You only need a willingness to begin. See what I specialise in here.*
