One of my first digital sketches from back in the day!

Hi! I’m Sqwigggs!

I’m a learning art teacher, teaching and helping people (from 5 to 35) utilise art and creative practises to make connections with themselves and discover what’s important to them, as well as tackling today’s prominent issues of depression, anxiety, chronic illness etc.

I fell in love with art therapy in high school, recognising how people have been using art to enhance their understanding of self and others since we were young children.

The most amazing part of art therapy is the beautiful understanding that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “GOOD” or “BAD”. That’s not what it is about! And it is absolutely freeing knowing you have no obligation to share your creations with anyone else!

The reason I share my personal experiences and the simple works that I create is because I love people to understand the benefits of keeping an art journal. The liberation of not having to conform, just express.

I studied art before changing my degree to psychology… so I can continue to build on my knowledge and expand my techniques in this field.

Shoot me a message! I’d love to meet new people and I’m new here so it’s a little daunting.
