Artist and Art Psychotherapist working with nature in South Devon
Laura is an Art Psychotherapist, who has been registered with Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) since completing her MA at Goldsmiths University, London in 2007.
After 15 years of providing art therapy provisions in schools and community’s she decided to expand her practice to working outside and was honored to be able to study directly from the pioneers of Environmental arts therapy, Ian and Marianne Siddons-Heginworth.
Laura has now amalgamated her practices into offering a Nature’s Art Therapy group, Circle of Trees, and individual sessions at The Deer Wood.
-
Laura works with cold wax and oil paint in the studio and with ink and pastels when ‘outside’. Contemporary, textural and expressive, her landscapes are emotive, marking the changes in seasons.
-
She draws on her intuition of nature’s messages and takes note of the shifts in energy and focus in her surroundings and herself.
Her artwork documents these transitions and her awareness of nature’s pen, capturing a moment in time inviting the viewer to see nature through her eyes.
-
Laura asks her audience to immerse themselves within their interpersonal relationship with the subject matter. She draws on the viewer to remember, relive and reattune with their experiences and memories of being, seeing and feeling in the natural world.
Explore The Heroines Path
Laura co-founded The Heroine’s Path in 2018, a collective of female holistic artists who hold regular day and weekend retreats.
This collaboration brings experiential journeys that follow the energies of the seasons and cycles, regaining connection, sovereignty, re-wilding and healing.
