Art As Therapy – P5 Turning Pain into Purpose
Let’s rewind to wear it all began. I was only 6 years old when my father died and I remember those early weeks quite distinctly. Dad had bowel cancer and from diagnosis to his passing was about 4 months. One day he got sick and the next day he was gone. Everyone bought me gifts. […]
Art as Therapy P2- Self-Exploration & Reflection
A creative life is an interesting and challenging one. My mind has so many fleeting ideas. It takes practice to catch the right one and transform it into physical form.

I’m Back !
Hello readers, I know I have been quiet for way too long! I’m sure those that took the time to read my previous blogs have missed my tongue in cheek humor and hysterical content (because I am really am quite funny, just ask me!) I have missed blogging, but boy it was getting me […]
