Meet Marie Fox The Lady Behind Art as Therapy

This week I was excited to meet up with Marie Fox so that she could update me on her current restorative projects and workshops. The reason I include Art as Therapy in Amber Law’s website, is to provide our clients and website visitors with awareness and information about yet another Wellbeing Tool.

It is perfectly normal that clients going through the legal process, be it an employment dispute, accident/ injury, separation or divorce, a criminal matter and so on, are suffering from some measure of stress, anxiety and even depression; not just because of the legal process but also due to the underlying reason why they have a legal dispute.

In order to support our client’s mental and emotional health and wellbeing; and to empower them to make decisions (i.e. give instructions about their case) from a place of clarity and peace of mind, Art as Therapy is highly recommended.

Marie describes this as, “a cathartic process where it is all about the journey, not the end product: it is about working out their feelings and elaborating negative emotions into a positive vibe, while concentrating on the artwork.

The art supplies are offered merely as the alternative tool of communication. This is not a counselling or psychological evaluation service, no diagnosis is made from the artwork. I take pictures of it and archive it in a timeline, to document the participants’ progress not only in artistic terms, but especially with their self-healing, self improvement, self-image and self-acquaintance process”.

The classes are offered not only for adults, but for children and teenagers too. This means that not only our clients but their children can also benefit from the healing process. Art as Therapy can therefore be a solo journey or a family affair.
