our inspiration
As a visual artist from the age of six, I observed many benefits of creative expression in a quiet place in nature for myself and others. With the combination of training in art therapy and meditation, as a teacher, I was inspired and saw the need to evolve & teach meditation, visualisation and art processes.
After extensive trialling these lessons with hundreds of students from a range of diverse backgrounds and abilities, many children transformed into their creative loving hearts. Mindful Creative Hearts was ignited – we wish to share this gift to transform many more lives.
