*** Art Therapy in a Website ***
Two words: Make Things.
If I told my 16 year old self that I was talking to dead people with voices in my head, currently sitting with $10k in debt and no home, no husband and no kids at the age of 28, she probably would've dipped and said "God, take me back. I want a refund."
My Mission
I created this site in the hopes that you'd explore your fun, angry, creative, silly, emotional, psycho, quirky self!!! (or be supah dupah inspired). OR maybe even try out trauma therapy (as I did). It's been a journey, and through it all, I've been forced to let Abby out, full blast like a cute lil garden hose that is actually a raging fire hydrant. Welcome to my world!
Overview
What does Abby do? She does art. Specifically, combines therapy and healing techniques with creativity and art. SO, are there ways to work with her and access this creative GENIUS mind? ;) Why yes... right here, of course. You can check out my socials @abbyroesteiger, you can browse or buy art and clothes on this site, sign up for emails, or take my online art classes :)
Styling
I love CLOTHES and fashion. To me, it's an art form on the body. And I can change it each and every day!? How exciting. I enjoy combining all sorts of opposites and mixing up the vibe based on my mood. Rich and poor, modern and retro, urban and country, sporty and girly, dark and light, boring and fun, neutral and colorful, the list goes on....
Creating
I'm always making things; painting, sewing, collaging, knitting, DJing, drawing, writing, designing, styling, cooking, baking, etc. Where do I get MY inspo you ask?!?!? EVERYTHING around me. Anything and everything. I'm on Pinterest every day and will even notice a green glove on the side of the road and get a wild idea.
Designing
I went to school for graphic design, and over the years I've found that digital art is another hobby of mine, including videography and photography. Any time I can take art that I made with my hands and turn it into something digital, it adds a whole new realm of possibilities. My graphic design portfolio can be found at abdesign.persona.co
Featured Art.
In my dream last night, my intuition told me to go to the top of my apartment rooftop so I wandered up there without shoes and there were lots of people walking around out and about at restaurants, I felt a little insecure about barefoot underdressed no makeup but was like whatever it’s the vibe today. As I walked then I heard music I loved. And there was a DJ I knew!
