Connecting Through Creativity

Are you feeling disconnected, uncertain, anxious, or isolated during these challenging times? This community-centered group aims to foster connection as we create, reflect, and discuss. All levels are welcome from no art experience to the seasoned artist.

WORKSHOPS

Below are examples of previous & ongoing workshops. I'm able to develop a program to suit your needs.

Photogram

Photogram Workshop

I provide photogram workshops for adults coping with cancer which is part of an ongoing research project. l also offer photogram workshops related to the topic of grief and loss.

​

Because this technique requires a dark room, I collaborate with institutions that have access to this type of facility. Workshops may include a presentation in addition to the hands-on experience.

Worry/Wish Figures

Camp HUG:
Honoring Unique Grief

A day-long camp to help families learn to cope with the death of a loved one by encouraging them to express their grief through creative outlets.

​

This may be adapted to serve youth only or adults only.

Creating Together

My Recovery, My Story: A Framework for Expression

This workshop was held at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts and included viewing artwork in the galleries, discussion, followed by an art therapy experiential.

 

The benefits of the gallery space as an inspirational, creative environment, and the reflection of the artwork promote exploration and expression.

Testimonials

The opportunity to participate in the photogram workshop was a very healing experience ...  An ongoing support group is not for me, so this type of workshop, and bonding with other survivors was a perfect experience for me. Plus it “meant” something. I still have my photogram, and it still makes me smile.
