“ART IS WHY I STILL WANT TO BE ALIVE. I think art therapy takes us into another mental state, to places in the past and the future. Art lets us speak without speaking; meditate with our eyes and hands. Art is something you can touch and see and feel and that transports us emotionally. We lay down little bits of ourselves in colour, in lines, with all our worries transformed into some new creation we did that day. “

– Quote from B.C Cancer Clinic Art Therapy Studio Group Participant –

“With her kind and gentle nature as well as professional skills, Charity created a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Her emphasis on making art in a non-judgemental and non-comparative environment ensured the experiences are truly therapeutic.”

– B.C. Cancer Clinic Art Therapy Studio Group Participant –

“Charity creates such a warm welcoming open safe environment to do art, to connect, to enjoy ourselves. Charity started having time before and of studio to talk about what we have created. Through this, we got to know each other and open our hearts to each other. I really needed that!”

“Expressive Art is for many students an authentic and safe path to communicating how they feel. Students so lucky to have this experience have shown emotional growth.”

– Natalie Morissette, School Principal at L’ École Bilingue

“I was able to express and release feelings that I couldn’t do through words.  In the end, it’s meaningful to see the visible result of those emotions in a piece of art.”
