Abbie Chatfield has officially launched her art career.
The outspoken podcaster announced that she has completed a series of paintings and even started up an official Instagram page for her work, called Bug Doing Art.
The page has already collected thousands of followers just one day after first being made.
The 30-year-old showed off a series of her works in an Instagram post on Monday – and had plenty of fans for her creative efforts.
Admirers swamped her comments section with encouragement, and even offers to purchase the abstract works.
‘Oh my god, I would totally buy your art!’ raved one fan, while another said, ‘Um, these are great! Would love to know if you will do commissions’.

Someone else said: ‘Oh my god, I would totally buy your art!’ with one more adding, ‘Is there anything you can’t do queen!?’
‘Okay but I want to buy one or get you to do something cool for my salon! These are AMAZING,’ said someone else.
Abbie also had support from her boyfriend Adam Hyde, who wrote: ‘I’m so proud of you. It’s just the beginning.’
Not everyone was wowed by Abbie’s artistic talents, however.
‘I’ve seen better finger painting from five-year-olds,’ said one person, with another commenting, ‘My five-year-old is a better artist!’
‘This is pure delusion, have you seen a Picasso or a Rembrandt painting?’ one more asked.
’95 per cent of four-year-olds produce better art than this,’ complained one more, and someone else said, ‘Starting to look and sound like Meghan Markle with that dreadful piece of rubbish she calls art.’
Abbie shared her first finished opus with her fans in an Instagram Stories post on Sunday.

She debuted her first painting, an abstract portrait of a psychedelic slug, revealing that she has taken up art of late to ease her anxiety.
This is not the first brush with the art world that the former radio star has experienced.
Abbie’s ex, former Bachelorette star, Konrad Bień-Stephen, tried his hand at painting during their romance.
In what was widely believed to be a dig at Konrad, Abbie posed on Instagram last year, ‘When the guy you’re dating is actually talented and you don’t have to pretend to like his art’.
Konrad broke up with ex-girlfriend Abbie in September 2022, shortly before flying to Buenos Aires to film the Channel 10 show The Challenge.
‘Abbie and I had broken up a month before going in the house [to film] so I was very much single,’ he told The Daily Telegraph at the time.
‘I wasn’t going in there looking for love or for any type of relationship or anything. That wasn’t my mindset going in.’
He said he and Abbie broke up ‘amicably’ and had ‘both moved on with their lives’.
