Art Therapy

Evidence-based research shows that painting and drawing can help reduce anxiety, ease agitation, and promote positive emotions, while fostering a sense of purpose and social connection. Art therapy can also enhance quality of life by providing a calming, non-verbal means of expressing thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to communicate verbally. This can be particularly beneficial for people living with dementia or those who are neurodivergent.

Individual & Community Program

Lee’s art therapy practice is grounded in these benefits, drawing on her background in visual arts and her ongoing creative artmaking. Her therapeutic work is characterised by imaginative approaches to painting, a vibrant and expressive use of colour, and an exploration of the unity of nature through multidisciplinary art-making using natural and recycled materials.

Through her work with Ku-ring-gai Council and as a dedicated volunteer in aged-care settings, Lee has facilitated community art therapy programs that invite participants to create in a supportive studio environment. Her sessions are designed to share the enriching and restorative benefits of artmaking, fostering creativity, self-expression, connection, and wellbeing within the community.

Thienny Lee Art Therapy offers a creative approach for both younger and older adults to support mental wellbeing, strengthen social connection, and enhance communication, among other benefits. Through guided artmaking experiences, participants are encouraged to explore self-expression, creativity, and emotional wellbeing in a supportive and inclusive environment.
