About Sally Thompson:
Sally Thompson is known for her ability to see what the eye may miss at first glance. Sally provides us with glimpses of what we are missing, the chorus line she calls it, while we focus on the star.
In her day-to-day life, Sally builds systems and manages sophisticated budgets as a finance officer and web developer. She is also a competitive ballroom dancer and has learned complex choreography in a variety of styles.
Not surprisingly, Sally brought the devil in the detail to her creativity and exploits the colour and the structure of interlocking shapes to bring a fresh perspective to the movement and colour that nature presents.
For Sally, it’s the music and the chorus line that take equal centre stage as the prima donna and soloist and her work takes the viewer on the dance of a lifetime.

Art Therapy Talk by Sue Kennedy
Sue will talk and demonstrate how despite being enormously beneficial for those people experiencing difficulties, Art Therapy is also suitable in emphasising healthy aspects of a person’s life.
By focusing on art, regardless of form, a person can explore their own creativity, providing themselves with valuable insight into who they are, especially in relation to certain areas of their life.
Art therapy is based on the theory that creative expressions can foster healing and emotional well-being. It lets individuals communicate their personal experiences and has been proven that creativity allows people to discover their self-identity.
It also helps to heal people by improving their mental health, and improve physical health by alleviating stress and anxiety.
For those who are ready to change their life and live from love and not fear Art Therapy may be for you.
Sue runs workshops and also one on one sessions.
More about Sue Kennedy
Sue has the Author Academy, Author Academy Bookstore, and Sue Kennedy Publishing as well as Healing with ART.
Sue has a Diploma in Art Therapy, Art Therapy Advanced and Clinical Art Therapy.
Both members and non members are welcome to our meetings to view an inspirational artist at work each month, as well as the opportunity to enjoy networking with like-minded art enthusiasts.
