I am so grateful to have met and worked with everyone at the Union Station Homeless Services in Eagle Rock on Friday. We had relaxing therapeutic art sessions using watercolors, acrylic paints and oil pastels. They were such a kind group and so supportive of one another, each with amazing talent and it was nice to get to know them personally through their art explorations. I look forward to holding more art wellness sessions for the communities of USHS soon.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on mothers portrayed in art by looking at Armenian artist Arshile Gorky’s painting “The artist and his mother.” Gorky had said through painting his mother, it was a way for her to live on.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Our Art Wellness sessions are tailored to your goals and needs, although our methods remain consistent. We build a respectful relationship of client-artwork-facilitator. With this foundation of trust and clearly defined goals, it is my belief that the client has the ability to heal and be well.

We explore healing creatively through many different types of artistic media. Below is an example of working with a linocut block carving to be printed.
