My ‘artist statements’ talk about the processes I undertake in completing an abstract painting and/or abstract digital photo painting.  It took me some time to find a process that worked well for me; and more time to refine it to a point where I felt I was achieving a standard, that I was happy with.  Please hover over the two links in blue below to find the Artist Statements for said.

Footnote:

The process of painting, painting story writing and digital photo painting has offered me a way of expressing thoughts and emotions which can be difficult to say out loud.  I also came to understand that art can be a very powerful way of communicating with others.  therapy via art – gave me a voice…

My art therapy journey has been an important part of recent years and still will be an important part in years to come.  I am hoping that sharing my art therapy journey, will inspire others, to take up art therapy to find their voice – to be able to move forward in the most difficult of times.  Art Therapy has brought me now to a much better place where I find myself being able to seek joy each day.  As an ongoing process, I will be blogging about my art therapy journey “moving forward” and expand on how others have used/are using art therapy to assist physical and emotional well-being.  I hope you will join me!
