Join creative art therapy practitioner Phoebe Hofsteede for a morning of nature therapy and art therapy combined at the beautiful Phoenix Sculpture Garden in Mt Glorious, where we will connect with our natural surroundings & each other, exploring our creative expression.

Together we will stroll through the beautifully designed gardens where many of Graham Radcliffe's sculptures reside, providing inspiration to create our own drawings & markings, finishing with a sharing & reflection circle afterwards.

Absolutely no artistic experience or 'talent' is required. The aim of art therapy is purely the process; journeying with nature, body & creativity. All that's required is an open mind and curious heart.

As a photographic mixed media artist, Phoebe works mostly with portrait & landscape photography, to then use as the basis of her mixed media artworks.

Phoebe has developed her style over the last 15 years through studying Visual Arts at QUT and Photography at QCA, which provided her the ability to combine her love of collage & crafting with her photography.
