Reverse Colouring Book art therapy hasn't added a story.
My name is Corla and I am an artist, not by choice but by necessity.
I lost a son in a car accident 18 years ago and it put my life into a state of depression and mental anguish that is beyond description to anyone that has not experienced one of those "human experiences" that we all will experience at some point in our lives. Most of us delude ourselves into thinking that these things happen late in our lives, but seriously... they happen at all points of our lives. In my case, it had an effect on me, my children and ultimately my marriage.
I worked myself out of the darkness by turning to art, which I had not done much of since high school, but it was the crack in the wall that let a little light back into my world.
Fast forward to present day... art is still a big part of my life and I use it to communicate my emotions and to let things out when they get built up inside and need a release. I have found that I can get effective results using my art as a meditation tool.. and most recently I have developed a set of colouring books for others to use to doodle and find imagery that can console and communicate in ways that only the suffering person can understand. Art is a language that is very personal... and yet, universal. Colours have an emotional trigger and shapes elude to visual ques.... the result is a storyline that brings a sense of calm.
What I want to do is bring this tool to a level of accessibility for caregivers and mental health providers to offer to patients and anyone that is in need of a touchstone that can anchor them to a point of normality. To do that I need to bring the costs down to a point that people can access and share easily. At this time I have created two issues that are published through a self publishing website and I need to look at volume pricing and marketing options that can reach beyond my local market and selling to family and friends. Help me get the word out to those that I feel can benefit from this process and practice.
I also track sales of the Reverse Colouring Book© books that I am presently marketing and 10% has been set aside as donations to Wounded Warriors and to other worthy causes that advocate for minorities that struggle through mental health or societal oppression.
I need your help to manifest a pool of resources to make this possible and to share this concept with others who work with victims or are suffering in silence themselves. This is an opportunity to give a hand up and help others in your community.
