My commitment and calling to serve as a creative facilitator reflects my core values. I practice and honour self-directed, unstructured, organic education and learning.

Experimental and spontaneous visual art-making sessions in a safe social & emotional space that promotes the potential and intention of personal growth. My workshops aim to invite healing, release and positive mental health development into your artistic therapeutic journey and daily life! I provide gentle guidelines and encouraging creative energy direction for a unique journey of self-expansion by exploring different art disciplines, mindfulness techniques and creative projects! Some examples of ideas/activities I offer to facilitate and enjoy are:

Painting, drawing, sketching, illustration, crafting, colouring, dot art & mandalas, sculpting, clay work, digital design, pottery, needle felting, jewelry making, wood/stone carving, beading, card-making, paper-crafting, journalling, mind maps, collaging, origami, mache, abstract + contemporary art projects, meditative hydrodynamic watercolour painting, 3d+model design, sewing, cooking, baking, face-painting, murals and many more ways to connect to your creative spirit! In contrast to art being an expensive avenue, I apply a modest non-clinical approach more
affordable support needs, accessibility and equal opportunities. I also utilize lower cost sustainable inspiration with repurposed/recycled supplies, natural and eclectic mixed-media materials. I also always try my best to use eco-friendly + low toxic options whenever possible! My sessions are always interest lead and person centred. I’m open to any specific skill building, focused/task-oriented or fine arts mentoring approach. If the learner(s) have aspiration to try new things, are in pursuit of advancing in certain areas or want to share special personal interests or crafts - Please do not hesitate and inquire about how I can be supportive to your desires as a creator without judgement! I am very open about my personal wellness endeavours, my struggles and strengths and how I navigate challenges + imbalance in my pursuit of happiness, self-betterment and overall general healthiness. There are absolutely no expectations of perfection or any required artistic results. Pure creation process ultimately positively affects our inner perception of self-worth enhancing pride and peace in our lives. Join me and embrace the power of your imagination! [email protected]
