Meet Jen Alward from Learning to See Studio

Jen has been helping people find hope and healing through Art Therapy for over 20 years! She loves the playful, almost magical way art engages people while revealing new (and deeper) perspectives of themselves, God, and others. She combines her professional knowledge and personal faith to help people around the world experience the transformative power of art on mission trips and with clients in Northern Wisconsin where she lives with her 2 dogs. She makes art of her own to process emotions and draw closer to God and is excited to continue helping others do the same. Check out her books, self-paced courses, podcast, membership program and other resources at LearningToSeeStudio.com.

Dry
Bones

In Jen’s session:

Today we're covering a lot of scripture, but you'll see how it all connects and weaves together, transforming despair into praise. I love how God is so faithful in doing this--of bringing hope to the hopeless and redeeming us. He meets us in the layers and process, teaching us to trust Him and to see things differently. 

This project begins with identifying the valley of dry bones in our lives (personally and globally) and lamenting over their current state. Then we will remember God's promises and recognize how His presence transforms everything! The final step will be to make a mini piece of art to share this good news with someone else in our lives.

As we journal, collage, and draw today, may He revive your soul and breathe fresh life into places you thought were dead.
