Explore Art Healing through Abstract Painting and Inner Connection.
Hello and Welcome to Art4Healing!
The Art4Healing method takes you on a journey of self-discovery. It provides a therapeutic way to release stuck energy, joys, sorrows, or fear without words or pressure. This method evokes emotions and connects you to something greater than yourself. You gain a better understanding of your emotions and feel nourished deep in your soul. Each workshop includes a warm-up and 3 abstract paintings. Why use abstract painting?
Because Abstract art is painting with freedom. Your expression is given a voice, but without using words, signs, and symbols. Each painting is unique because each person expresses from their heart; it is specific to them, their life in color. This method of self-discovery and healing evokes emotions that build a bridge connecting thoughts and feelings. Painting abstractly provides positive benefits that help individuals connect, grow, and heal. This creative process is a non-judgmental and safe way to express feelings without pressure. The most beautiful thing about painting abstractly is that only you know the true meaning of the painting; you can choose whether to share or not. Everything is divinely orchestrated and painting intuitively opens the lines of communication between you and your heart. It is a powerful self-exploration tool to help support mental health and emotional healing for children, teens, and adults.

Who would benefit from taking the class? Everyone!! Abstract painting becomes the language that helps individuals voice their emotions. If you need emotional support caused by pain, grief, stress, trauma, or life events, the class will bring you a sense of understanding, clarity, and encouragement.
Please note: There are also classes for individuals who would like to paint for the joy of it. Expressing yourself without words, no pressure and expectations is relaxing and great for the soul. You connect to your inner wisdom and express what is in your heart.
How are the lessons taught? Scripted prompts are designed to evoke emotions that help individuals express what is blocking them from moving forward and healing. The workshop includes a warmup and three abstract paintings on different-sized canvas panels.
Length of the Workshop? The classes are approximately 1 1/2 - 2 hours in length.
What Supplies Are Needed for the Class? A supply list will be sent to you via email when you schedule a class on Zoom. If you attend the Art Workshop in person the supplies are provided.
Quick Facts about Supplies:
Acrylic paint is used because it is water-based and dries quickly. You can layer the paint as you work through the prompts.
Make-up wedge sponges and Q-tips are used in place of brushes creating a fun and creative way to paint abstractly. Paint brushes are not used because wedge sponges allow you to paint freely, which helps you not be bogged down by the pressures of painting techniques.
