hello
I am Lorraine Thomson- a visual artist, painter, Certified Zentangle Teacher, and teacher of creative processes who helps adults with getting in touch with their creative side. In our high tech, digital world where everything and everyone seem to be going at faster rates all the time, itโs my mission to help people reconnect to or find their creative side, slow down, listen to their inner musings and allow expression of this so they can find better balance, and create more expression, art, beauty and joy in their lives.
I have a unique background of training in art, facilitation, creative processes and health care so I provide guided, supportive encouragement, and skills to create the artwork or a personalized creative expression which I have found to be helpful in dealing with lifeโs stressors. Whether working with visual meditation and focused pattern drawing with Zentangle; connecting with emotions and feelings doing non-dominant hand journaling, drawing and painting in the workshops; facilitating others published processes like in the Artistโs Way group or other types of classes and workshops, I love to encourage people to find their own connection to the creativity. For me, it is critical that I continue to create- it helps my emotional state and helps me process things going on in my life whether good, bad or indifferent. I enjoy drawing, painting, doing mixed media and creating in whatever way I can.
