About us

“Our mission is simple – to build an art‑loving community - a place where artists, collectors and creatives can come together to celebrate Australian art.”.

Hi, I’m Teresa — founder of @artdirectoryau. I created ADA in 2020 because I wanted to create a space where artists across Australia could share their work, feel supported and be part of a community that genuinely celebrates creativity. With a background in Media and Communications, storytelling has always been at the heart of what I do.

I’m based in Brisbane with my young family. When I’m not working on ADA, you’ll usually find me playing with my little one or painting. I’ve always been drawn to art, colour and creativity - anything that brings joy, expression and a little magic into everyday life.

2026 is shaping up to be an exciting chapter for ADA. We’re expanding with new exhibitions, more art products and artist‑led workshops across Australia — all designed to bring artists and our community even closer together. I can’t wait to share more art joy through our online shop, exhibitions and workshops.

If you’re an artist, art collector or art lover, we’d love to welcome you into the ADA community.
