My guest for this episode is Jean Kropper, an Australian based artist who teaches artists and non-artists alike how to find comfort and healing through meditative drawing. Jean is the founder of Paper and Pixels and has a passion for bringing creativity and art to life. In our time together Jean shares what it was like to lose her husband to alcoholism and the trauma and devastation that caused for her and her son. Although their marriage ended, the death of her former husband brought more layers of PTSD and grief. Through time and intention though, Jean was able to harness the power of her artistic creativity as she healed and grew from her experiences. Listen in to find out how.
