Meet the voices – in images

Engaging Creatively with Voices #1 Intro

This post is long overdue! Since childhood I have been drawing and painting images of the voices I hear and other sensory experiences. Over the years I have realised how useful this was for me and how it helped me through some difficult times. Some of the ways in which it has been helpful creating…

Engaging Creatively with Voices #2 Søren
