In Light of Meaning

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.” -C.G. Jung

Exploring my own identity as an art therapist/healer/artist with human responses and reflections of the turmoil and bliss of life.

As an art therapist it is my job to help others heal. I enjoy the work, and find joy in making space for folks to express themselves in a non-judgmental space. I am also a human, with their own feelings, struggles and inner struggles. Being a therapist does not cancel the other out. It has helped me express my feelings, and label them but at the end of the day I still have feelings that I must face and manage regularly. In Light of Meaning is my healing art journey. Some of these pieces were made with my own art therapist, some were made alone.

This collection has my insides on the outside, on display for folks to see. It involves being vulnerable, it puts my feelings out there on the internet. I am an artist and that is sometimes what we do. If you are one of my clients, and you are looking at these, thank you for your curiosity, and your continued trust in me.

Most of the artworks below are collages, prints are available in a few sizes, depending on the piece. Originals will be displayed in Ottawa in the near future. Artwork updated when I have time.
