Join Us for Art for Freedom - Fund Raiser

 


I am one of the teachers in the Art for Freedom initiative sharing a lesson.
I have joined Larissa Russell of Creative U Healing, along with many other teachers to share a creative healing session to help alleviate stress, lower anxiety, and just all around help with feeling better.
My session is a part of many more that you get for free when you donate $27 dollars to help support Ukraine.
Larissa lives in Canada and her government has agreed to match donations in by March 18, so we had to act fast to make the most of our donated dollars.
If you want to donate more, or can’t donate $27, there are other options on the page.
Go HERE ( https://www.creativeu.ca/art-for-freedom ) to donate today, and receive your FREE gift of Creative Healing Sessions.

Thank you for your support

Stay Blessed and Be a blessing

Artists Talks - Nala, Malcontent - A Work in Progress


Recently spoke to artist Nala at his exhibition Malcontent.

Artists - Alan Springer, Heather Dawn Scott, Nala, & Oneka Small

He spoke about the way that his work can be viewed as social commentary of the things that he hears and experiences.

Artist Nala



The link between the art created and mental health and well-being, the things that inspires him as he works.

Artist Nala shares insights to his art

And where he sees his work moving to next, the combination of theater and expression is one of the ways in which he addresses topics and themes that arise out of his creativity both as the art on the canvas and in a theater setting.
