‘Resembling A Home’ 11x14inches, pencil on paper #brisbaneart #furniture #home #couch #books #light #prismacolor #drawing #pencil #strathmoretonedblue
My friend @kmao29 studied art therapy with me and is about to head back over to China after a visit in Aus. She’s taking some of my postcards to use as therapeutic resources, emotion prompts etc in her work with women and I can’t wait to hear how the images go in a different cultural context. Also, Miao Miao is one of the first art therapists in China! There’s not many! So she is really on the frontlines bringing #art and #mentalhealth together there! Pretty cool #arttherapy #china #wellbeing #lovinglife

At Grand Ave OSHC art workshop this week we read ‘No Matter What’ together and drew images based on what stood out to us. Some of the drawings highlighted how we can show care to others who are fearful or worried, and it prompted interesting chat about why I chose to have fear as a character in a book. Each week I’ll be giving a copy of the book away to a lucky student who I notice being kind to others and creative in their ideas. ✍️ 📖 #brisbaneart #artworkshop #fear #love #story #ideas #kindness #kidsart #prismacolor #nomatterwhat #lovinglife
Love speaks to us. Sometimes, though, fear speaks louder and tells lies. I’ve bought into these before and believed them (“you’ll fail” “what will others think” “you’re on your own with this”) and witnessed the consequences (anxiousness, overthinking, isolation, not stepping out of my comfort zone) and so i tried listening to love’s input instead (spoiler: leads to more freedom) and wrote a story about the two voices and their differences. Book available in store at #artshedbrisbane ($20, cash only) or link to online store in bio #nomatterwhat #book #brisbaneart #prismacolor #fear #doubt #anxiety #storytelling

A little about the book: This book is an acknowledgement that fear has a voice, but there is a truer, more trustworthy voice: Love. This story serves as a reminder to self, and could also be useful as a therapeutic conversation starter for mental health clinicians, parents, caregivers, or teachers looking for a gentle way to explore themes of worry, anxiety, fear, and isolation. This story is a prompt to consider ways in which we all experience faith, kindness, warmth and love differently, and how to recognise when Love is speaking with us.
