IS ART HEALING…DAH!!!

I was born an artist…extremely sensitive. I grew up in war zone. My passionate parents would either dance, laugh, love,or unload a dishwasher on each other. I was also born an introvert, extremely shy. The outer world really scared me. I was so much more comfortable in my internal reality. My Mom, fostered this as she was an artist and she taught me that art is a empowerment and a healing tool. She was an amazing woman who was interested in ancient cultures and mysticism. And that’s were I traveled. As I socialized, I was case book social phobic. In my internal pain I could always go to my strength which was always my art. I could go into details but this is another post. Just so you know how severe my social phobia was I could not eat in front of my peers in high school because my hand was shaking so much.
My personal art is my healing tool for myself it is my life line. I do not think I would be here with out it.
Also, that is why i am a transformative art teacher for Severely Emotionally Disturbed Children. I believe the process of art can Heal. I know it and I see it everyday were I work.

The image above is called Social Phobia, that is how I felt in my internal world . And since my early 20’s I have traveled to those sacred places on earth that revered Art and Life.
I have come so far…my art has come so far. My life has become my art.
