Spontaneous Painting

Spontaneous Painting "Art can be said to be - and can be used as - the externalised map of our interior self." Peter London, No More Second Hand Art.

Welcome to Spontaneous Art Therapy a page devoted to the arts and positivity! What is a Spontaneous Painting session? Well, by using only our left hand to paint with, we activate the right hemisphere of our brain - the emotional, non-verbal, intuitive and creative side of the brain. It guides our thoughts and behaviour outside our awareness. Listening to loud emotionally evocative music whilst pai

nting transports us to an alternate state of mind. People can experience being able to identify and regulate their emotions, articulate them more clearly and also bring repressed emotions and memories from the subconscious mind. This brings an awareness to the unity of the mind and body. After the painting is complete you are asked to write and talk about your art work - thus communicating between the two hemispheres of the brain. This helps to build meaning and self awareness. You will eventually find yourself automatically talking and being able to label your emotions, which reduces stress and increases self esteem. Art therapy is considered a safe, enriching environment that promotes social and emotional development. The art work you produce is a representation of the inner and outer worlds, it connects the mind and body - which contributes to feelings of control. Even though the visual images may awaken fear responses, art therapy can provide a safe place to relieve the fear arousing emotions by pairing it with a positive sensory experience. Sessions with me take around 2 hours from start to finish.... please message me for more details.

It’s always heartwarming when a client connects deeply and frames their work… the paintings continue to speak their wisdom - often times long after the original session 💛💜❤️

A very positive and uplifting emotional quality to yesterday’s spontaneous painting session!
One never quite knows just how the painting will evolve when your fingers paint that first colour on the blank canvas - which is one of the many reasons I love working with this healing modality so much 🎨❤️😊
