Art and Wellness

What artful means to me

In recent years I have gravitated towards well-being through art. One of the best compliments I have received was when someone told me they always have the best night sleep after my workshop.

I've been very fortunate to have had the time and energy to be able to have that kind of impact. In a way this is what has led me to my current path of exploring the connection between creative art, mental health and well-being.

The right headspace

Having my own space for arts and craft was the top thing on my list when we moved and we found a great place which had just that. I spent a couple of weeks setting it up - the table had a geometric design, things I had been accumulating since I was 10 finally had a home, I finished a project I’d been putting off for months so it could be up on the wall. And I was ready to begin!

I am now working towards helping others start small and taking time out to be creative and really connect. I am working on creating workshop programs/outlines that have mental health and well-being at its core.
