Art as Form of Trauma Healing

in earthnation •  7 years ago  (edited)

After experiencing trauma I have been exploring the many ways to creatively heal and reconnect with my true self. One form of "therapy" I greatly enjoy is creating art. My brain is able to melt into the bliss of putting color onto paper and my thoughts become focused on creating beauty. I love to color! Coloring is an expression of my soul. Today I will share the piece that I made. I used a combination of glitter and "shiny" markers in this piece. In my other works I use coloring pencils, sharpies, gel pens and more. The colors of the day are purple and gold. These colors make me feel empowered.

Who's your favorite coloring book artist?

I really like the coloring books "Nirvana" by Skyhorse Publishing and "Art Therapy- Mandalas & More" by Hinkler Books. Which ones do you like? @chelsea88
