My interest is in

Touch Drawing Personal Use, Facilitating Touch Drawing

What brings you to an interest in Touch Drawing or SoulCards?

I have been doing Touch drawing for about 10 years, as a participant and a facilitator, in educational and therapeutic settings. i teach Touch Drawing as one of the core courses in the Art and Healing Certificate Program at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL. My co-teacher, Victoria Domenichello-Anderson and myself believe that Touch Drawing is potentially such a powerful creative and personal experience that all the students in this Expressive Arts program can benefit greatly by taking the class. I have been teaching small weekly Touch Drawing workshops in my studio for about a year and a half as well. As a visual artist, I mount many of my Touch Drawings on canvas and further develop them, usually with acrylics.I have attended one TD gathering.

My experience applies to:

Therapy, Art, Creativity, Education, Aging, Health, Abuse, Grief, Parkinsons, Meditation, Expressive Arts

Share a special experience with Touch Drawing or SoulCards.

At the Touch drawing gathering, I had a very powerful and unexpected experience with drawing my response to the death of my mother.
This was profoundly healing. Please see Nancy Watson's page, as she created a moving video of my drawings and writing. This video "Touch drawing: Journey Through Grief" is also available on the "videos" page.
