At Wellness through Art, I'm driven by a deep desire to assist others in discovering inner peace and love. My journey began with a profound realisation: the unconditional love we share with our beloved pets has the power to unlock transformative healing within ourselves.
Drawing inspiration from this connection, I've crafted a series of workshops focused on harnessing the therapeutic benefits of art and the profound bond we share with our animal companions.
Through these workshops, I invite participants to explore the profound connection between creativity, self-discovery, and the unconditional love we experience through our pets. Each session is designed to provide a nurturing space for individuals to tap into their innermost emotions, express them through art, and ultimately find solace and healing.
I provide art tools that will guarantee you will be able to come away with a drawing that will resemble the photo from your phone you bring to class. A fantastic stencil tool for even the novice to help with outlines and proportions to ensure the picture you draw will resemble what you see on the photo you are copying.
The workshop starts with a guided meditation where I will assist by calling in your inner creative, from there I will host the workshop sharing tips and guidance, as you embark on drawing your beloved pet from a photo you bring to class. (don't worry if you don't have a pet, but want to get involved, I have plenty of animal pictures you can choose from or feel free to go off piste and draw whatever you feel drawn to)
What others have said about the event's "I could thoroughly recommend this event, it’s in the most beautiful space and you don’t need to have any experience as Gemma will supply a range of tools and help you every step of the way. Everyone at my event made an incredible piece of art and enjoyed the calm and mindfulness of the experience"
"Gemma, thank you so much for a wonderful evening. You created such a welcoming and special space to create, along with such a friendly group. The atmosphere was perfect. The meditation at the beginning was very touching too, such a great way to set up the vibe. I encourage everyone to join in"
