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 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.  Class will focus on the connection between health, productivity, wellbeing, and creative expression while exploring collage and intuitive mark-making as tools for relaxation and intentional wellness.

Debbie Levine, originally from NY, is an Austin based lawyer-turned-artist who has been teaching at Lake Austin Spa Resort for more than a decade. She has used art making as a daily meditative practice for more than 30 years.   Her relationship with art for physical and mental health began intuitively as a way to relieve stress while studying for the NYS Bar exam (she passed!).   Her classes are well received by both the nervous beginner and the experienced artist;  she is a playful thinker and a life-long learner,  focused on  the relationship between  experiencing wellness and engaging in creative expression.  Her diverse experience, enthusiasm for what she does and ability to connect bring out each participant’s natural abilities and make her classes informative and enjoyable.
