Led by artist, Keisha "I Make Everything Beautiful" Whatley, of Custom Arts Studio, and Art Therapist, Jenni Graham, LCAT, ATR-BC, MPS, of The Truehart, a Philadelphia based Creative Arts Therapy Organization, participants will be supported through any experience they bring to the easel:
There really is no limit to the experience you can bring to Painting THROUGH a Twist. All of the creative and emotional support is in place for you to feel safe, supported and celebrated in your healing. "YOU DESERVE TO HEAL." |
