Creative Sessions

Reconnect with Your Creativity

Arts-Based Inquiry Sessions | Coming in 2027

An invitation to slow down, explore materials and discover what emerges.

Creativity is not something we need to be good at. It is something we can return to, explore and rediscover.

In 2027, I will begin offering individual and small-group arts-based inquiry sessions, creating space for curiosity, experimentation, reflection and creative discovery.

Through working with a rich variety of materials, including paint, ink, handmade paper, textiles, natural and found objects, we explore what happens when we allow ourselves to make without needing to know the outcome.

There is no right or wrong way to begin. No expectation of a finished artwork. No previous artistic experience is necessary.

What is Arts-Based Inquiry?

Making can be a way of thinking, feeling and coming to know.

Arts-based inquiry invites us to explore questions, experiences and possibilities through creative processes rather than relying on words alone.

A colour, a mark, a texture or a fragment might become something to follow.

Through making, noticing and reflecting, we may discover new perspectives, reconnect with our creative selves or simply experience the pleasure of exploring materials.

The process is guided by curiosity rather than performance.

What Might We Explore?

• Reconnecting with creativity after time away

• Experimenting with unfamiliar materials and processes

• Finding freedom from perfectionism and expectations

• Exploring personal experiences through creative expression

• Developing greater confidence in our creative choices

• Making space for curiosity, play and reflection

Each inquiry is different. We begin with what is present and follow what emerges.

A Gentle Beginning

You do not need to consider yourself an artist.

You do not need to arrive with an idea, a question or a particular outcome in mind.

Sometimes the first step is simply making space to notice.

My approach is informed by my practice as an artist and arts-based researcher, my Master of Therapeutic Arts training, and a commitment to relational, trauma-responsive and multimodal ways of working.
