Paint & Create Group
This is a process art group that uses paint & mixed media to reflect your intuitive wisdom. With initial guidance, you will evolve an art piece in each group, stepping back into a not knowing place where creativity and inspiration lie. Sessions focus on process art not the outcome and therapeutic themes are introduced with techniques that build over time. YOU WILL GET TO: undoing perfectionist, inner critic and “don’t get messy”, “stay in the lines” programming. Work with abstract marks, water and different mediums to mirror your internal world. Experience feeling more free, flexible and clear in your own body. No painting experience necessary
