Our Story
Art Wellness Workshops blossomed from a deeply personal revelation. Art is for everyone and everyone can benefit from making art. Growing up in a military family meant constant change and uprooting. During this season in my life, art became my anchor, a sanctuary of peace and a source of stability. Where we lived changed often. But my sketchbook was with me in every new school, new house or apartment, and on every new road helping me along the way. As an adult, I have journeyed through various artistic disciplines and shared the magic of different mediums with my students. I have witnessed firsthand the profound power art holds to soothe, to center, and to unlock inner well-being. Making art is not about mastering techniques or creating aesthetically pleasing pieces; it's about the quiet focus, the mindful engagement with materials, and the emotional release that naturally unfolds through the creative process. This inherent connection between art and wellness continues to resonate with me today, sparking a desire to share this transformative experience.
As a professional educator, the benefits of making art have been equally compelling. Beyond the joy of creation, I have discovered increased focus, enhanced problem-solving skills, reduced stress levels, and a greater capacity for innovative thinking. The act of bringing ideas to life through art fosters a sense of accomplishment and builds confidence. Recognizing these profound personal and professional advantages,
Art Wellness Workshops was born with the mission to provide accessible and engaging art experiences that intentionally cultivate well-being, offering business professionals a pathway to discover their own creative sanctuary and harness the therapeutic power of art in their profession and lives.
