The power of Imagination

I have been holding online art therapy sessions and group workshops since March, and am inspired by the creative work of the participants. Although we have been living in a very different reality to what we were used to, with some of the people that I Zoom relate with living in small bedsits – where ever we are, our imagination can free us, and there is nothing more wonderful than witnessing people escaping with art!

Here is an article by art therapist Cathy Malchiodi on the subject.
