Art in the Loft

You don’t have to be “good at art” for it to be good for you.

‌And I think this is where most people get it wrong.

They assume creativity only “counts” if they have something to show for it.

If they’re not “naturally talented”, then why even bother?

But that turns it into something else entirely.
Another place to perform.
Another place to evaluate yourself.

And that’s not what this is for.

Creating (especially with something as tactile as soft pastel) does something different.

It slows your mind down.
It gives your attention somewhere to land.
It lets something move through you instead of constantly taking things in.

That’s why I think creativity is one of the most underutilized forms of wellness!

Creating gives back to you in ways that will change everything.

✨A new piece for our exhibition wall!!✨

Julie paints and draws often without a plan and simply listens for colours and hears which brush to use. Painting on canvas is her preferred style; however, she is mad keen on collage and working on paper too and recently has been painting with acrylics, gouache and oil pastel too.
A local artist, she hails from County Durham and has lived and worked in Scotland, Portugal, London and Sheffield. www.julieroseclark.co.uk, email: [email protected]

Julie is also a poet and writer, singer and songwriter. A highly creative mother and expressive, she loves to dance and practices yoga and meditation and A Course in Miracles. Tel:07858380557

Introducing one of our artists from the exhibition wall!! ✨
Come and see her art that is for sale at Art in the Loft and T'cure 🤍

Alex van der Wateren - Alma Lauha is a scientist by trade but has been crafting since early childhood. A brief stint in art school pushed her to explore a wide range of media and techniques.
In these paintings she is exploring form, colour, and texture using acrylic paint on canvas, inspired by her years of working in microscopy as part of her higher education.
