Healing Through Art- Alice Marie.

Alice Marie, founder of Alice Marie Artist

Alice Marie, a mental health artist and creative healer, is transforming emotional well-being through art. With a background in psychology and teaching, she uses imagery, colours, and shapes as a non-verbal medium to help clients process emotions in meaningful ways.

A Journey of Passion and Purpose

Alice’s work began with young individuals sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Witnessing the impact of art therapy inspired her to develop early intervention strategies, preventing emotional crises before they escalate.

Pursuing an MA in Illustration alongside a Leadership and Management of Art Level 4 course, Alice explored the concept of the "shape of emotion"—how universal shapes and imagery express feelings beyond words. Her studies and passion laid the foundation for her business.

Empowering Emotional Well-being Through Art

In January 2024, Alice launched her business, offering workshops that address stress, anxiety, fear of failure, inner child healing, and anger management. Her approach, rooted in the evolutionary significance of visual communication, provides a safe, creative space for emotional exploration.

She primarily works with children and schools while also supporting adults. Her connections with educators and organisations drive her vision of expanding into CPD-accredited courses for schools.

Alice is collaborating with the NHS on a groundbreaking project—developing a recovery college in Gwent. This initiative integrates her innovative methods into mental health care, offering holistic alternatives to traditional treatment.

Innovation and Growth

Beyond in-person workshops, Alice is creating online courses to make her work more accessible. These include art packages and one-to-one sessions for a personalised experience.

Her role as Creative Lead at Baden Powell is a milestone, allowing her to integrate creativity into emotional well-being initiatives. Collaborations, such as a lecture at the University of South Wales, highlight her growing impact.

Overcoming Challenges and Celebrating Success

Alice has faced challenges, including imposter syndrome, but her resilience fuels her success. Her dedication to emotional well-being through creativity makes her a leader in the field, transforming lives through art.
