Welcome to the show
In this episode I sit down with Claudia Marulanda, an inspiring portrait artist, workshop facilitator, and founder of Marulanda Art. Claudia shares how she turned to art during a painful, transformative period in her life and discovered its healing power—not just for herself, but for others.
Key topics include:
Art as a Healing Tool: Claudia explains how art became her “medicine” during a period of depression and personal loss, helping her reconnect with herself and find peace.
Creative Expression for Well-being: We discuss the role of creativity—whether through drawing, music, or movement—in fostering emotional health, releasing suppressed emotions, and connecting to our authentic selves.
The Power of Imagination: Claudia highlights how art helps us envision new possibilities, expand our thinking, and create stories beyond the challenges we face.
Workshops for Self-Discovery: Claudia runs expressive art workshops that help participants use creativity for self-reflection and emotional growth. She emphasises that you don’t need to be an artist to benefit from art.
The ONE Thing
Art isn’t just about creating something beautiful—it’s about reconnecting with yourself. Whether you’re colouring, painting, or simply allowing yourself to play, creative expression can unlock healing, release suppressed emotions, and help you navigate life’s transitions with greater ease.
