About Carmel White
With over two decades of experience in preventative and daily care for severe and persistent mental illnesses, I’ve journeyed through primary and high schools, introduced diverse programs, counseled with Lifeline, and delved into the world of art therapy. Now, in Canberra, I bring my passion for the transformative power of art to life.
At our studio, I offer group art classes, providing a welcoming space for individuals facing mental health challenges to explore the creative world in a non-technical, supportive environment. Experimenting with various mediums, we aim to uncover your unique artistic gifts and nurture them.
“When I am with Carmel, I stop thinking. I laugh a lot, and have found out that I can create“
Relax and create
Creative Expression
Engaging in art can act as a form of stress relief. The process of creating art can be meditative, helping to relax the mind and promote a sense of calm. It allows individuals to temporarily step away from daily stressors and focus on the act of creation.
Skill Development
Art is a lifelong learning journey. Taking art classes introduces individuals to new concepts, styles, and methods. This continuous learning process fosters intellectual curiosity and a sense of accomplishment with each new skill acquired.
Community Building
Art classes provide a social setting where individuals with a shared interest in art can connect. This can lead to the formation of friendships and a sense of community, creating a supportive environment for personal and artistic growth.
