Life Through Art

Revive creative freedom, heal from trauma and embody spiritual wisdom

You don’t need to be a technically good artist to use art as a vehicle for healing or self-realisation. All you need is your preferred art medium and a willingness to move across the page in whatever way you’re called.

In Life Through Art, Abigail shares the personal experiences that guided her to embody an art healing modality. That is, a method of visual art where the individual relinquishes the urge to control the outcome on the page in lieu of liberating what their intuition seeks to express. It is a stream of consciousness approach to artmaking which promotes healing benefits beyond the satisfaction of executing a particular image.

Through original art, poetry and incisive self-reflection, the author explores the connection between being creative, healing from trauma, and becoming more aware of the spiritual world. This is offered as a guide for how we can use art healing to flow into a more fulfilling path.

Turtles Without a Sandy Beach

 

Hope of Sri Lankan Tamil Survivors

The book records the memories of Sri Lankan Tamil survivors who lived through war for over three decades. By creating a three-dimensional presentation, this book provides a dignified healing space for hallowing the memories of those survivors.

First, it uses poetry to capture human rights violations and unspeakable memories.

Second, each poem in this collection tells a story inspired by actual events without fully revealing the graphic nature of life in war. The book creates a healing space for those memories through nature photography.
