Experience a burst of creative energy during every session!!!!!! 💥👍🏻 It’s time to sign up for my Art Mentoring Program, starting in one week…if you get the last spot in the Tuesday morning group, the first session is on May 25 and if you join the Thursday morning group, the first session is on May 30, both 9:30 - 11:30 am. The Wednesday evening group is full, but I will pop you on a wait list if you’re interested in that one! Just 4 sessions (one module) is all you need to build your confidence and discover endless possibilities, using a wide variety of art materials (all supplied). You’ll also enjoy the feeling of complete relaxation that comes when you become fully engaged with something fun and enjoyable. #findyourinnerchild 🍍Be quick!

Last week I was interviewed, over the phone, by @lifelineaustralia because they want to share my story as part of their Spring marketing campaign in September. Afterwards I had to send them some pictures that will be published alongside the article they write! They requested images of my husband and I, when we first met, family photos of the 4 of us with our 2 children, and pictures that show the hobbies I have now… my love of art and dancing! It’s still not easy to look at photos of my old life!! 🥲 I included this pic…a canvas I painted in 2016, that hangs in my office. I look at it everyday…it includes the quote “ Always continue to grow. It is possible to achieve what you wish, if you take the time to learn who you are,and willing to be who you were meant to be.” 🌼. My life was devastated by the loss of my husband in 2009. Since that day I’ve taken baby steps forward, basically trying to learn how to adult on my own (we met just after I graduated from high school). As the years go by I continue to seek out information about mental health, suicide and how to take care of my own wellbeing. I’ve also learned, from scratch, how to create and manage a business, after almost thirty years as a wage earner…I know I’m a #lifelonglearner 📝 My wish????… to live long, be a ‘good’ mum/grandma, help others enjoy life, and never lose my own sense of wonder and joy. What’s your wish… and are you taking baby steps towards achieving your desires? #dreambig #prosper #growthmindset #findingmeaning #sharingiscaring❤️ #treepainting #suicideprevention #lifeline💕

How do feel about Mondays?? Energetic or lethargic? Do you dread facing the workload of the week ahead?? Take a deep breath the say…” I release the tension in my body and relax”. Then make a commitment to doing something (even if only for 10 minutes) that will take your mind off your worries and responsibilities, to give you a moment to recharge your batteries. If you’re hesitant to use art as a relaxation tool, but you like the idea of it, we need to talk!!! Contact me to arrange a time to chat 📞 I’m available to discuss the many options available to ANYONE, even those who can’t even draw a stick figure 😂😂👍🏻#colouringin #drawingandsketching #observingnature #painting🎨 #artisgoodforyou #artisgoodforthesoul #mentalhealthmatters
