"I drew an 'Outside of the Box' tree. It grows out of the water - which could be my subconscious. It looks like a jester's hat - which could be my humor. It is very curvy - which could be my feminine self." -Carina #tree #drawing #art #arttherapy #subconscious #feminine #humor #outofthebox

My art: poem and collage. Empowerment is green. Empowerment tastes like an expensive meal with an ocean view. Empowerment looks like a mountain. Empowerment smells fresh. Empowerment feels like the wind on my face while I'm sailing the BVI. Empowerment comes from inside. #mountain #ocean #bvi #sailing #art #arttherapy #collage #soulcollage #poem

"Life is about love, connection, and nature. And the unknown - which is represented by the two tiny brown dots (like the eyes of an animal hidden in the night). The three boxes use the element of design and construction to create a third heart." -Karl, a master home builder and #DYI host of Wasted Spaces @HGTV #love #connection #animal #nature #art #arttherapy #design @KarlChampley

Unfortunately there is nothing to write about this #drawing. Amanda recently attended my seminar on #ArtTherapy and #Anxiety in Columbia, SC, but I did not get a chance to talk with her. Here are some questions I would like to ask: "This feels very #musical to me. How is music important in your #life?" "There seems to be some type of #vessel in the center. What does/ should it contain?" "There are 2 #fish 2 #gloves. What do those represent? How is the number 2 important to you?" So many things I want to know. Amanda, if you are out there... #unanswered #questions

I met Michelle while I was having my car serviced @Rusnak_BMW. She is 26 years old, but she looked childlike as she smiled and rocked back and forth in the chair across from me. Her mother explains, "Michelle is #autistic and the rocking is a side effect of the #medication #Risperdal. Other side effects have been #anxiety and difficulty speaking. It seems like the #treatment is worse than the #disorder. She likes to #draw, but she only draws circles, almost #obsessively ." #art #arttherapy #BMW #hearts #mother #SideEffects
