Art After Loss now has its own website. You can still sign up for the Art After Loss Class here or on Skillshare, but if you are looking to connect with a grief community focused on using art as therapy then check out our new website.
The Art After Loss Community offers a membership area where you will have access to full-length art classes, mini-tutorials, coloring pages, activities, and the Creative Heart Digital Magazine. Or you can subscribe to just the Creative Heart Magazine and receive access to a digital magazine each month that includes art lessons, activity worksheets, affirmations, coloring, and articles all centered on a monthly theme that offers support with your grief journey.
In this class, I’ll take you on my journey through grief and how I used art as a way to express my pain and overcome fears.
You don’t have to be a talented artist to join Art After Loss, all you need is the willingness to experiment.
Creating art will give you a chance to slow down and explore all the emotions that come with grief. The focus of this class will be on the process of creating with 5 different mediums, rather than the final product itself.
how art after loss began…
After losing our baby boy at 25 weeks and almost dying myself, the grief I felt was unimaginable. It took many, many weeks for me to physically recover from the surgery, but it was the emotional pain that left me empty, afraid, and many days hopeless.

“Thank you for sharing your emotional journey and being so vulnerable, your artistic way to process grief and loss is so much needed, especially now more than ever! I truly appreciated the class and will recommend it to my friends. It was truly moving and engaging, the techniques is easy to follow, and don`t require any special training. * This class is about looking for the answers within, where there is no right or wrong way of doing things – that`s why the author doesn`t explain in details, step by step precisely what to do and how to put it together. It s not a conventional art class, it`s art as therapy from artist.“
