Art for Well-being Program                                                                                  

With 20+ years experience designing visual art curriculum and teaching it at various academic settings, I have experienced that art-making can foster wellness benefits to anyone that practices it, from children to seniors. As a professional  coach in lifestyle enhancement, creativity and well-being, I design and offer my own programs in Art for Well-being,  fostering self-expression from filmmaking, screenplay writing, digital photography, mixed media, and design. Artistic skill is not required to participate, but a desire for social inclusion, creativity and to have fun!

Some of the benefits participants receive:

  • De-stress & self-soothe
  • Enhance mindfulness
  • Receive meaningful insights
  • Reach a state of relaxation
  • Enhance self-care
  • Supports personal healing
  • Engage socially

I collaborate with wellness centers and other institutions that support health and wellness, all the while having fun in the process! Available for individual classes, and, or, for groups.
