Some days we need to have all our choices out on the pallet. How else will we know what’s available?

A little bit about the impact of art and arts therapy…

New studies are showing our brains react to seeing art, and that it has the ability to help trauma. It's something for everyone, not just artsy people.

Happiness is… finally finding a Shrek figure (in an op shop - for a bargain) . No sandplay miniature collection is complete without a Shrek.
The other one I’m hunting for is Brave’s Merida.

Soul Images -from Photographer to Arts Therapist

I am a registered clinical Arts Therapist in private practice in Hamilton, New Zealand. I believe in the power of the arts to unlock health and wellbeing. It is my purpose to inspire hope in children, adults and families as they deal with the challenges of life by expressing and exploring themselves through art.

I have worked in a variety of settings, mostly with the goal of inspiring hope and dignity in people. Alongside that I have practiced photography for many years. Photographing people to tell their stories. Photographing nature to celebrate creation. But photography was also therapeutic and an expression of who I am. Over the past 29 years I have studied in the fields of art, psychology, education, theology, organisational leadership and arts therapy (Yes, I like studying). I reckon somehow these things are coming together in my fledgling career as arts therapist.

I am still an artist, exploring myself and my world, and expressing myself through the arts, and photography, but using arts to inspire hope and dignity is now the focus of Soul Images.
