Spring has arrived (sort-of). Pollen is wafting and everywhere there are signs of life. After the intensity of the #creativedeed365 it took a few weeks before I could settle into a new "creative rhythm". One with a focus on building resiliency through creative engagement... ...and the first 3 months look like this... *These mandalas are on 8x8 bristol sheets. The 1st mandala of 2016 - using a vast variety of media: art stix, prisma color pencils, markers, sharpie pen, water soluble pencils. Processing the new year, changes, and hopes. February's mandala - prisma color pencils & sharpie pen. Swirling emotions carried over from 2015 meet current ones. March 4th mandala - using handmade paper, prisma color pencils, acrylic paint. Reflecting & documenting developing relationships . "Feeling, feelings...and taking ownership"
Symbolic Projections is a place to express those musings that generally remain hidden in journals. It is a place of processing, a place of reflection. I am an art therapist and this is yet another exploration. Stretching beyond my comfort zone and reaching out through social media, by means of images and words.
