Art Path is a creative well-being initiative that uses accessible, process-based art experiences to support self-expression, connection and well-being. Through practices such as Expressive Mark Mapping, participants explore line, shape, movement and colour as a personal language, focusing on the experience of creating rather than artistic skill.
I am an award-winning professional artist and educator with over 40 years of experience. Following a liver transplant and PTSD, I discovered firsthand how creating art supported my return to well-being. This experience inspired me to develop Art Path and explore how accessible creative practices can support health, connection and self-expression.
Interests
I enjoy the outdoors and have designed Art Path Healing Parks where one is inspired to create art using natural materials. I love travelling with my husband to learn the history and culture of other countries. Scrabble and chess are always set up and ready to be played. Coffee with friends and playing with my grandchildren bring joy to my days.
