Abstract Mixed Media – Sandee Mahler (teacher)
Art Therapy
This form of painting is meant to be a stress relief, confidence builder, and a way to find yourself if you have issues with depression and emotional struggles. Sandee Mahler has found that in today’s society all three of those issues are becoming broader with adults and younger teens. Human interaction has become a minimal process in this digital era that we live in. It’s affects are showing the disconnect of relationships and creating awkwardness in communication outside the internet.
Sandee wants to bring people back to a place of feeling safe with expression in the form of childlike fun with textures and paint. It does unlock the door to laugh at ones self or lay out maybe some hindering feelings onto the canvas. It could be a turning point as they walk through this process. This is safe place to explore and be in the moment with tools to express.
As much as yoga is therapeutic for the soul, allowing the brain to use its creative side can be very liberating! This is beneficial for people of all ages. The class is highly effective in building self-esteem, promoting better communication, and it can be quite joyful in the process.
