Give an art course for the holidays

With the holidays looming, if you are looking for a gift for a creatively minded person, perhaps my art course, Pour Your HeART Out would be just the thing. For people who like my book, Future Girl / The Words in My Hands, and are interested to do some art journaling along those lines, this course will provide heaps of techniques and inspiration. It’s also great for anyone who is struggling emotionally, as the course teaches methods of for creative self expression. When you are feeling dark or low, just working with you hands, paint and paper can be incredibly theraputic and restorative. It’s also a great way to bring more creativity and joy to your life as you play with delicious colours, textures and collages.

This course is great for a last minute gift as it’s an instant download. When you buy the course you receive a PDF that you can download and print out and slip inside a card for the recipient. The PDF contains all the details they need to log in. The course is done online using any ordinary web browser – on a phone, computer or iPad.

In this video I talk about what you’ll get from the course and show snippets of the course content.

Pour Your HeART Out flip through

In making my art therapy course, Pour Your HeART Out, I used the process to create a book of my own, exploring my experience with chronic illness. This flip-through shows the book I made.

My new accessible music project: AMPLIFY

Deaf girl wearing headphones with a cross over her ear, dancing to music that extends from a subwoofer with vibrational sound waves. The text reads, ‘AMPLIFY – creating a customisable, vibrational and visual experience of music… so deaf people can enjoy music too.’

Are you d/Deaf or hard of hearing and would you like to be able to access music? If so, I want to hear from you!

My new project, AMPLIFY, is an accessible music project so d/Deaf/HoH people can enjoy music too.

Watch the video to find out more about the project and how you can get involved.

Sign up and find out more here.

If you know anyone who is d/Deaf/HoH who might enjoy better music access, please share this post with them.

The more of us who get behind this, the more power we’ll have to change the future of music and make it enjoyable for us!

Are you having a rough time? Struggling with grief, depression, anxiety or trauma?

Are you having a rough time? Struggling with grief, depression, anxiety or trauma? 

I made an art therapy course to help you get through this difficult time. Art therapy can help you in two ways. First, the process of gentle art and craft activities can be meditative while not being too challenging, and can help lift your mood. It simply feels therapeutic. Second, it can help you to process your issues in a healthy way, feel cathartic, and release emotions that have built up in your body.

You don’t need to have any prior art experience and you don’t need to be able to write well. If you are an experienced artist or writer, this course will guide you to use those skills in a relaxing therapeutic format. When struggling with our mental health, making decisions can become overwhelming. This course tackles that by providing simple, bite-sized guided activities.

I created the course I wish I had during the rough periods I have gone through. I struck on this process by accident and used it to help me cope with the challenges of chronic illness. I found it comforting, cathartic, enjoyable and satisfying. I kept going back for more, because it felt good. I hope you feel the same way when you give it a try.

If you know anyone who is struggling, who might benefit from a guided creative outlet, please share this with them.

Art therapy for hard times

I have gone through several periods of hard times in my life, and each time I have wanted some kind of gentle art therapy to engage in, but at those times, I have felt too stressed or overwhelmed to adequately guide myself with my own art therapy. 

Eventually, by accident, I struck on an art therapy process that worked for me, was engaging enough that I was able to do it for months at a stretch, was easy enough that I could do it when tired and overwhelmed, and was encouraging enough that it consistently boosted my mood.

I used that process to make a book that explored my experience with chronic illness. It was very cathartic and also valuable, as when I have shared the book with others, they have gained an insight into what it is like for me.

Check out the book in this video flip through.

I found this process so incredibly valuable that I ended up making a course, Pour Your HeART Out, which teaches you how you can take your own life and use therapeutic steps to turn it into a book that expresses your experiences. Sign up for the course here.
