I have found refuge in the arts for as long as I can remember. I got in trouble as a child for drawing in my plate... Hours spent in fantasy land with fairies and dragons... Pages of writing from fantasy that eventually emerged as my truth. Art has been my soul's companion. These drawings and poems emerge from my moments of quite contemplation and emotional processing. I encourage you to use them to reflect and connect with yourself. And if you're comfortable, post a completed drawing and tag #consciouscolouring I would love to see what emerges from your moments of quiet contemplation.
