Connecting Surf Coast to Local Art: Cinnamon’s Art Consultancy
If you’ve wandered through the streets of Anglesea, you’ve likely felt the presence of Cinnamon Stephens. Together with her husband, Rowan, Cinnamon creates stunning metalwork that graces homes, businesses, and even streetlights. Each piece tells a unique story, inspired by the beauty of the Surf Coast. But Cinnamon’s true artistry goes beyond her sculptures, she’s a master at connecting people: artists, art lovers, and the broader community.
For more than 30 years, Cinnamon has been at the heart of the Surf Coast’s vibrant local art scene. She’s not just an artist but also a passionate advocate for local talent. From running her own gallery to co-founding the Anglesea Arts Space, she has dedicated decades to building bridges between creatives and their community. Her latest venture takes this passion to a new level: an art consultancy on the Surf Coast.
Through this consultancy, Cinnamon connects people to the hidden gems of the local art world. Talented artists whose works have the power to transform not just a space, but the way you feel within it.
The Vision Behind Cinnamon’s Consultancy
“What I love most is connecting people with art that truly resonates with them,” Cinnamon shared in a recent interview with Ellie Claringbold for the Surf Coast Times. “Art isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about finding something that speaks to you on a deeper level. Something that tells a story you want to be part of.”
This ethos is the foundation of Cinnamon’s art consultancy on the Surf Coast. She offers a personal, hands-on approach to art buying, making the process both welcoming and exciting.

“The Surf Coast is brimming with talent,” she explained in her interview. “My role is to connect our community with these incredible artists. It’s about supporting local creativity and keeping our artistic culture alive.”
Through her consultancy, Cinnamon not only connects buyers with art but also fosters growth for local creatives. She provides invaluable support to artists, offering guidance on marketing, exhibitions, and expanding their audience.
