Anyone can have a positive self image

Check out how a mom created a "super" photo shoot for her child (with a disability) to teach him to see his inner Superhero! :)  This reminds me a lot of interning in the bahamas at the Bahamas Association for the Physically Disabled.  See about our work here (read the description beneath the photo).

PinkHouseStudio presents Alter Ego

PinkHouseStudio is gearing up for another healing art workshop at Mt. Airy Read & Eat! This one will explore the concept of alter egos. They will spend some time discussing famous alter egos in the entertainment industry and the art world, posing the question, “Why create these unusual personas?” In particular, the conversation will focus on how alter egos often flaunt qualities and behaviors that are not socially acceptable. Participants will be guided through a process of identifying parts of themselves that would be liberating to express – aspects which we hide, fear and reject. They will go on to create visual representations of our unique alter egos that embrace these characteristics using a variety of art materials.
