Studies show creative expression helps maintain our immune systems and that art is clinically proven to reduce stress, elevate mood, and lower blood pressure. No judgement on the outcome; let yourself enjoy the process!

This Wise Women art class will focus on symbols and their meanings: the spiral as a symbol of constant transformation and the leaf as a symbol of new growth. We will discuss collage making as a tool for relaxation and wellness and the connection between health, wellbeing, and creative expression.

Debbie Levine, originally from NY, is an Austin based lawyer-turned-artist who has been collaging and making art and facilitating classes for more than a decade. She was drawn to the creative process years ago, intuitively, as a means of relieving stress while studying for the NYS Bar exam. She is a playful thinker and a self-taught artist; she continues to study art technique along with the relationship between wellness, intuitive collage making and the creative process. Her diverse experience, enthusiasm for what she does, ability to connect and bring out each participants’ natural abilities make her classes both informative and enjoyable.
