The Healing Power of Art

The first two community art workshops at West Edge were so, so good!

The theme of my residency at West Edge is Healing…something we all need right now. There is so much to heal from…illness, loss in all forms, social isolation…the past few years have been so hard for us all. In all my years of teaching, one thing that has never ceased to surprise and amaze me is the power that art-making has to help heal. Allowing ourselves to be lost in creative exploration can be profoundly healing and transformative. My goal with these community workshops is to facilitate an environment where that kind of healing can happen. Being able to do that alongside others in a creative community has been amazing. Here are some photos from the first couple workshops…Stay tuned for the next workshop signups!
