Art For Emotional Health, Well-being and Self-Care | Katie Flowers
Manage episode 287778415 series 2896925
After studying Art & Expressive Arts at Exeter University in the UK, our guest today became an artist, art educator, and art therapist. She would probably have stayed in the UK if it hadn’t been for her insatiable appetite to see the world. That brought Katie Flowers to Hong Kong where she landed a teaching position at Yew Chung International School.
Fast forward 29 years, and she has become a community voice in art education and therapy. Her goal is to make art accessible to everyone. She believes passionately that art is, first and foremost, the primal language of communication for all humans. And that, sadly, it is too often overlaid when the learning of language overshadows its importance.
Over the years, Katie’s work has stemmed from her desire to reconnect people with their innate creative force. Through her workshops and classes that include everything from lunchtime doodling, evening mandala classes to personalized art journaling circles, she taps into art in all its wondrous forms, and has, along the way, helped people restore their emotional equilibrium, recognize self-care, manage stress and anxiety, and achieve a better work-life balance.
Today, you will find her at “Wild At Art,” her very own art studio in Central, Hong Kong, where she works alongside adults to create all kinds of artistic magic.
