Meet the founder

Sue Morais is an Australian mixed media artist with over 15 years of experience in the creative industry.

As the founder of The Inspired Within, she blends her experience and her passion for artistic expression through collage art, experimenting with different techniques to craft visual stories and create meaningful, hands-on creative experiences.

Sue’s work is held in private collections in Australia, internationally featured in global art publications and exhibited in galleries in Australia and Europe.

She is also an artist in the Sydney Collage Society, a leading collective of Australian collage artists working to elevate collage as a recognised contemporary art form.

I love reimagine paper to tell new stories.
