Last night oil painting lesson at Maggio Lounge in Billericay. It was a full on session in which participants practiced more confidence in their loose brush strokes and also use of the spatula for more dramatic effects on the sunflowers. It felt challenging at first but then extraordinary final results came to life, and many had never done oil painting before. It was impressive!

I still have spaces available for this same lesson on the 3rd and 5th of September at the Brentwood Arts Therapy Centre, get in touch to book your spot.

What happens after cancer treatment, when the appointments fade but the emotional and identity challenges remain?

A new study from our academic journal, the International Journal of Art Therapy, by Roni Israeli and Johanna Czamanski-Cohen explores this through nine months of open-studio art therapy, with 16 women living with cancer survivorship.

The study introduces:

🎨 Oncological Chaos: the nonlinear and disruptive experience of life after cancer.

👁️ The Ecology of Witnessing: how self-witnessing, being witnessed by others, and artwork itself can help people express, organise and make meaning of experiences that can be difficult to put into words.

The findings highlight the potential of long-term art therapy to support emotional regulation, identity reconstruction, connection and meaning-making beyond cancer treatment.

Participants learn to add colours with different brush strokes movements and like magic the subjects come to life in their unique ways. As always all very beautiful results.
