Packing up decades of product collecting is not for the faint hearted. This garage has been a creative space for myself and for workshops over the years and even though I’m sad to be letting some stuff go, I’m excited to see what the next chapter of Art is Therapy has in store. ✨💓🌻

Well here I am after a very, very, very, long hiatus. So much has been happening over the years and my first love - art as a therapeutic tool, has found its way back to me and not a minute too soon. Oh how I'ved missed it.

I hope you are all well and life hasn't been too unkind, if it has, I'm sorry 😢

I am moving away from the Gold Coast within the next 3-4 months and even though I will be packing up a HUMUNGOUS amount of art products I hope I can share something creative with you each week wether it be a little or big project, we'll see.

For anyone interested I'll be hosting some Zoom Craft-a-longs so stay tuned. Once I'm settled down south I'll set up some face-to-face craft-a-longs.

Till then, too-da-loo kangaroo

My dad has Alzheimers and when I visit him he often recites to me the first part of this poem. I’ve never heard him say it growing up but now that his brain is accessing earlier memories I am privy to witness these parts that make him, him 🥰.

A fresh coat of gesso on a blank page (yes there is a hint of masking tape for a little bit of texture), ready for possibilities 💗.

Let’s stop posting “R U Ok” pictures and actually message, call or check in with friends who you feel may not be ok. Do you know someone who is
🟡 Withdrawn
🟡 Exhibiting changed behaviour
🟡 Moody
🟡Talking about their concerns or fears more than usual
🟡 lonely
🟡 changing their online presence
🟡 losing interest in things that they used to love
🟡 less interested in their appearance

Do you have a feeling about someone’s mental health and are concerned about sticking your nose in? Isn’t it better to be safe than sorry.

Stop asking here on social media! Actually ask people one to one. Action speaks louder than words.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s out there doing their best to be a positive influence on their kids. Wether you are a biological dad, step dad, foster dad, or a dad who chose to be the dad because the father wouldn’t , we see you. May you be feeling the love and appreciation for all that are and all that you do. #2021
