Writer Emma McLean and photographer Felicity Jenkins recently visited Loribelle Spirovski's studio in Sydney's Inner West to compile a story for the DEC/JAN issue of LOOK Magazine, just released.

After chronic nerve pain forced her to abandon brushes and paint with her fingers, the artist found not only a new painting style that won the hearts of thousands, but a renewed sense of "joy thrill and new excitement"—without pain.
