Rooted in SketchPoetic
Living Canvas Foundation™ was born from the heart of SketchPoetic®, where creative expression became a tool for healing in retreats, schools, hospitals, shelters, and underserved communities. These workshops, offered freely and with love, show the power of art to restore connection and dignity.
What began as a single practice has now expanded into a foundation committed to bringing arts and healing to a wider world. The gallery below reflects our roots, reminding us that every brushstroke, every sketch, and every shared story is part of a larger canvas we are creating together.
