The Creative Well Being Studio with Donna Loiola

Meet ‘Glimmer’ one of my landscape/seascape paintings hanging on my studio wall today. This is a combination of acrylic, ink and collage on deep edge canvas.

‘Glimmer’ was painted after a visit to Tobago. I stayed at a local hotel that we used to stay at growing up. Crown Point. I would sit at night and watch the light glimmering on the sea and bouncing off the rocks around me. I felt so connected to the sea and my beautiful Tobago that I had to find a way to capture that feeling. So … ‘Glimmer’ was created. A glimmer of hope. A glimmer of beauty. A glimmer of memory.

This beauty will be in show when I next open my studio doors in June. 🙏🏽🎨☀️

I create a safe space for people in my Art Psychotherapy practice and with these new workshops I am offering a safe space for you to come and play and explore more of yourself. It is NOt therapy that I am offering here but a creative space for self reflection and self development. I will provide all art materials and will facilitate you through an interesting process for self connection and self reflection.

The studio is big enough for four people to work comfortably so if you would like to join me for this then you will need to book early. ☀️🎨

I look forward to sharing this creative experience with you!

Creatively & Warmly,
Donna X🎨🙏🏽

I know my Trini friends and anyone who has spent time with Trinidadians will get this one! I could not resist doing a mini painting called
“ D Lime “.

Let me explain….. when Trinidadians get together and hang out or party or when a group of people come together to have a drink, eat some food and enjoy each others company we call it …. a lime. We liming = we having fun together. 😀 Trinis know how to have a good time and it usually turns out to be a good lime! Cheers to every single one of you that has made a lime real good ! 😁😁😍

This is one of 5 paintings that I am creating remembering Trinidad & Tobago and the wonderful fruity flavours I grew up with.

“ Flava” is the name of this new series!!
