Hi,

I’m a 47 year old, recently divorced and mother of two children. I started my new life 1,5 year ago from scratch, in an appartment where I could choose and decide this time how I wanted it to be decorated.  I had a few very difficult months in the beginning … feelings of guilt, loneliness, insecurety and fear overwelmed me. I realized that I lost myself and who I really am. After those terrible months, I decided that it was time to find myself again, my selfworth, my strengths, my passions … I wanted a new life … my new era.

Above this, I’m also a chronical pain patient and have multiple diseases. I have a lot of pain physically but also struggled with some mental issues … Oh yeah, and I’m HSP.

In stead of keeping myself in a corner, I wanted to find ways that could help to heal myself, to make me mentally stronger and to contribute to my selfgrowth.

By chance, I met a friend who asked me to help him with some decorations in his house. We bought vases, candles, cussions, blankets … but we didn’t find a single painting that matched with this! I’ve always been creative, so … I began to paint. Here’s were my healingart started. I felt such peace, rest, satisfaction, relaxation, distraction, … emotions and feelings that i even wasn’t aware of came out. Sometimes with tears, other times with a good feeling. But also frustration sometimes made its way into my paintings. I have to admitt that I felt relieved afterwards.

It was also my intuition that helped me a lot to get something on the canvas. I began to trust the process and accepted it. Some really unexpected things came out quite a lot.

Now I want to share my own jouney and help other people who struggle with unprocessed emotions and feelings; Because I understand … I understand what it is, how it feels and what healingart can mean to them in their own process.
