Healing Ways
Meghan Noonan
Mississauga, ON
Meghan is a self-taught artist studying at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute. Meghan describes herself as an intuitive artist. Meghan’s interest in painting sparked during her second year of university when she felt her worldview changing. During this time, the process of creative painting provided her with the space to practice healing and self-love. She came to learn that creating represented a passage for her to enter the now and connect with her deepest emotions and let them flow. She truly believes that art has the power to connect us all to what it means to be human, it touches the parts of us that cannot be reached with words. Her goal as an artist is to create pieces that promote the importance of engaging in vulnerability, self-compassion, and creativity. Meghan paints for the joy of the creative process, free flowing and unattached to an end goal. It is her emotional outlet and place of peace. Her artwork has been shown in multiple art exhibitions within her local community. She currently sells a number of original paintings through her website.
I like to describe my abstract expressionist paintings as representations of a deep journey within the self. They speak to the power of vulnerability and diving deep into one’s feelings and surroundings. These abstract pieces are connected to the idea of exploration and connecting to our deepest desires and emotions. I believe that when human beings have the ability and time to be vulnerable and self-reflective with their emotions and desires, they become more connected to their individuality and soul. This in turn can help people make healthy changes to nourish their desires and soul, to live their fullest life.
I believe that every one of us is an artist and that we all have something to express. I am passionate about spreading the message that engaging in vulnerability and creativity has the power to heal and promote self-love and connection. I hope that you are inspired by this message and that it offers you support in fulfilling your dreams and living the life you want for yourself.
