Testimonials from Women after the experience of being painted.
I’ve recently been on a mission to do things that are out of my comfort zone, to stretch my comfort zone to do something that I wouldn’t do normally. I wanted to feel comfortable to be with my body as it is. I have spent sometime thinking that I should be skinny or slim, but I didn’t do anything about it so I must be comfortable as I am. I wanted a record of this, how I feel about my body and that I am comfortable.”
“I felt very alive and energised while being painted. It is very liberating thing to do and it feels safe. It is a bit like being caressed and I felt admired and that made me feel lovely … She painted us in soft light with candles lit and it was warm and cosy and I think that the painting reflects that…”
“Its the best thing to do when your forty. Ever since I was painted I havn’t been so hung up about my body and I don’t think so much about its flaws, it can be saggy and it dosn’t matter. My husband has noticed that I have been less tense. I feel so much more relaxed-It was a very liberating experience and very healing and a lovely memory.”
“You don’t feel vulnerable, Katie made me feel very safe. The experience was very nurturing. I felt proud of what I had done and proud to tell other people. The reaction from other people was very positive and people were very excited with what I had done. You only live life once and I will do it again, this time I will let my hair down and lounge with grapes!”
“Katie really made me feel relaxed, safe and attractive. I am ‘elated’ about the finished piece of art. Thank you so very much”.
