When words fail, art facilitates healing.

Oscar Wilde said, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

As someone who's helped people crawl from gutters of trauma for 20 years, I get it. Some days finding light seems impossible. Creating texture art can offer a lift.

Squishing clay grounds us when everything feels out of control.

Smearing paint around aimlessly gives your nihilistic hands something to do besides scroll social media envying all the shiny happy people.

Sharing art forges connections when you feel alone against the universe.

Reducing Anxiety through Uncensored Creating

Rubbing texture materials awakens our senses.

Rough burlap, slick satin, crumbling clay - feeling each texture anchors us in the present, silencing worries. This mindful artmaking tames anxiety's rocking chair.

Recreate your pain with materials, then mess it all up into an unrecognizable glob... Therapeutic? Probably yeah. And it passes the time. And time, my friend, really does heal if you allow yourself to feel.

The best part is you don't have to talk to anyone at Wicked Rae's.

Just sit together, stewing in silence punctuated by sighs. Perhaps awkward staring sessions (where you turn crimson, lol). Down to try who can hold out the longest?

Healing Trauma by Processing Through Art

"There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." - Leonard Cohen

Reframing pain through texture art reclaims power.

Manipulating materials mends cracks, letting light return. Your hands reshape trauma on your terms - integrating experiences gently.

When words fail, art facilitates healing.
