Art Therapist paints for Bread and Rose’s Gala
Medicine Hat, AB– A local Art Therapist is looking to use her own art to make an impact on others.
Heidi Willmer, an Art Therapist at Keys to Hope, made a painting that will be auctioned off at the Bread and Roses Gala ran by the Medicine Hat Women’s Shelter. For Heidi, the painting represents more than the money it will go for.
“The women who are at the women’s shelter are going through a moment that’s very full of change, and they’re going through a very crystallized experience,” said Willmer, “I think (the painting) just shows that domestic violence can impact anyone at anytime in their lives and that we need a community to rally behind them and support them.”
