Our Kind of Art Therapy for the Soul

I originally went to college right out of high school to be an art teacher. I majored in art education, and my favorite medium was oil paint. However, my counselor recommended I find another major due to the decrease in funding for arts in schools. So I went into early childhood education instead.

My Own Kind of Art Therapy

Once life happened, I strayed away from painting to start a family and career. Many years later, my cousin celebrated her 50th birthday at a “paint and sip” class. I hadn’t painted since college, and it felt so good. Shortly after, my mom fell ill, and I turned back to painting for my own art therapy. I began with acrylics because they are so easy to work with and quick to dry. I painted my mom and friends several pieces. Then my mom passed, and not even a year later, my dad died as well.

I turned to art again, but this time I worked with oils, which was incredibly therapeutic. However, lately, I’ve been into photography. I’ve taken over 25,000 photos since my parents’ deaths!

I am planning to share more soon. However, in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these few pieces. Eventually, I will turn the pieces I’ve created during my “art therapy sessions” into prints for purchase. So let me know if anything catches your eye.

Update October 9, 2020

Wow!

If you become an avid reader of my blog, you will see that I generally do my own thing. I typically do not subscribe to “traditional beliefs,” “conventional wisdom,” or “societal norms.” So while there are “professional” art therapists, with certifications, I am not one. I simply follow my Inner Goddess and do what makes sense for me and my journey, hence our kind of “therapy sessions.”

I originally created this post in November 2019. Since then, with the direction of my Inner Goddess, my art therapy has been Divinely Elevated! We now have a virtual gallery and online store! Check them out below! Thank you, Goddess!

If you would like additional guidance or support, just contact us, and we can rise together!
