10 practising artist-artpsychotherapists, working with varied clients and groups come together in this show. Visitors are invited to join workshops and talks to increase the understanding of art therapy in the community.
“We invite you to explore a shared curiosity and playfulness, in the materials, processes, and techniques, which draws us down into ourselves, and parallels the therapeutic journey we make with our clients. Art therapy is multi-layered and can offer a healing transformation where words may be hard to find.”
Participating artists:
Alley Akoh, Rona Begum, Martha Evans, Lorna Giezot, Ruth Goodman, Belinda Hunt, Chris Lyle, Miriam Muldal, Shin-shin Ngiam and Stephanie Taylor.
