Sketch Therapy
Hello
My name is Diane Hoehne, Chief Imagination Officer at Sketch Therapy and I've been drawing, sketching and painting pictures since I was a kid. I recently "retired" from a 35+ yr IT career and have wanted to build something using my artistic skills that would benefit others.
The quote Stop Scrolling... Start Sketching is inspired by the concept that our attention is being pulled in so many directions that our perception of reality and critical thinking abilities are affected. The quality of our attention is being depleting by Social Media. This is happening because we are in constant fight or flight mode. We are loosing our ability to make sense of the world and this can change the structure of our brains via changes in neural connections, similar to how stress changes our brains and our bodies.
Art Therapy has proven that doing any sort of creative activity improves memory and sense of well being. It can help with sense of self-awareness. I am proud to say that I am certified as an Art Therapy Practitioner and plan to continue to build a community of artists and crafters and creatives that are willing to share their gifts!
Doodle for your Noodle!
Just find a little time to set aside each day to do something creative that doesn't involve a screen. Sketching, doodling, painting, sewing, building, sculpting, singing, dancing, acting and any artistic activity all counts.
