A Multisensory Approach:
Our visual art-making goes beyond traditional means. We provide a diverse range of materials such as combs, toothbrushes, sticks, sponges, and foil to apply your chosen medium. These sensations from the canvas are felt in our bodies, fostering mindfulness in the present moment. This heightened awareness allows us to process and regulate emotions, gain clarity in experiences, and find balance in life.
