WELCOME to Wild and Free Painting, an indulgent and nourishing art therapy studio for self-discovery

“Just as fire can transform food from its raw form into something digestible, our darknesses are radical transformers. Instead of airbrushing our personalities, we should practice exaggerating our blemishes, leaning into our stagnancy, wounding, and discomforts. If we really want to evolve, all we have to do is be more expressly where we are.” ~

How it started ➡️ How it’s going

This week marks 8 years of Wild and Free Painting, almost 3 years in our beloved Belmar space, 16 years in private practice, and 23 years as an Art Therapist.�

I joke that I’m a dinosaur in this field… and it FINALLY feels like the world is catching up to the value of the arts and creative expression as essential to living. Maybe you’ve felt this shift too? That creating isn’t extra and it’s not reserved for only the chosen few, but it’s more of a necessity to feeling human and connected. �
�
If you’ve been here since the beginning, you might remember those early days, renting a yoga studio and transforming it into a painting space once a week. Three hours to set up and break down for a two-hour group. I was all in on bringing creativity out of the mind and into the body, for as many people as I could reach.

My commitment to using the creative arts as a pathway for healing has only deepened over the years and it finally feels like the world is ready for it too.

Thank you for being part of Wild and Free and all of its iterations. �

Friday nights look a bit different these days and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

This sound healing meditation at three sisters forever rescue farm was so nourishing. It was hosted by operation hope and seacrest recovery center of nj.

One of the best parts of the night was when the deer, vultures, birds and horses all came out to listen to the bowls too.

BUT the ultimate highlight was when I got a little kiss from Ginger. It was hard to keep my eyes closed since there were so many magical things happening around us.

Check out operation Hope, they offer equine assisted therapy and free mental health services to veterans

Stay tuned for another sound bath at the farm in June w some art too!
