“Different and specific areas of the brain are activated while using the method to process deep trauma,” says Blue Hands. “As a CPTSD (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder) survivor, practice in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Art Therapy, daily meditation, and Somatic therapy assist to maintain a productive and healthy lifestyle for myself.”

About the artist
Blue Hands has a BA from IU Bloomington, in Painting and Drawing with a minor in Art History. Currently a scenic painter at The Phoenix theatre and a Fabricator at Whale Creek, Co, she has held a variety of artisan positions over the years. “One of my favorites was at the Butte Silver-Bow Arts Foundation as a teaching artist, assistant to the director, and community organizer. Another favorite was as a Volunteer Coordinator for the Imagine Butte Resource Center (IBRC) working with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation for The Color and Light Festival, says Blue Hands.” A proud mother of three, her future plans are in volunteering with Hospice, and obtaining her Masters in Art Therapy.
