Art Therapy
Comfort Through Art
“I have always been a part of the art industry, whether behind a camera or painting on a canvas. Art spoke to me, motivated me and healed me. I was fortunate enough to have my kids exposed to art constantly. Through painting, drawing, poetry or music, creativity was always a means of communication and self expression.
Throughout my son’s life, Jack would often be painting, drawing, jotting thoughts and ideas into his journals. Scribbling little doodles and lyrics, constantly creating new pieces of work. Art created a sense of therapy, a sense of understanding, and now a way many remember Jack.
When Jack passed, his journals and art provided comfort to his peers throughout their grieving process. It has brought us closer together, to admire the benefits and beauty that art has to offer.”
I opened my studio for all youth
“I opened my studio knowing that the system is broken, but we can be the change. Expressive Arts allows people to de-center from the issues that are in front of them. Creativity allows us to grow, helps us navigate through our thoughts and process emotions. We must learn to listen with our eyes, and turn off our minds. Art therapy allows you to move through challenges, understand yourself, and encourage healing.”
