Pink Spiral
Playful Art & Creativity for Adults
What's Sarah's story? For years I juggled working as an Executive Assistant in high level, high pressured corporate environments such as Investment Banking, Finance and Insurance. I used my creative thinking to find alternative solutions to problems and was often considered quirky but it meant I was successful at my job.... but did I enjoy it? No, it certainly didn't feed the soul...but then we all use the same lines ' we have to pay the bills' etc etc..' Â so I started thinking how can I pay the bills and feed the soul .. there must be another way? surely?
The next 4 week water colour wellbeing course is March at The Arc in Winchester

I am so so lucky to meet some amazing people by running these art as therapy sessions, and this has now extended to people being referred via social prescription. Hurray!!!!
​
It is a truly rewarding (and often humbling) experience, and I am always touched by the comments I receive.
​
Here are just a few of the comments from the creative souls I have met.
