How it all began…
I’m Denise the founder and creator of Art for Busy People. It all started when I realised the need for building a mindful art product for busy people who wanted fun creative outlets.
Everyone was so busy and no one had any time for long courses, including me. So I put my passion for art, wonder of nature and knowledge of wellbeing into these art packs.
With a life time of teaching Visual Art, having studied to be a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT22), created artworks as an artist in exhibitions, and being a member of a family who was often walking bush and coastal trails, canoeing, and riding mountain bikes, in was natural to combine art and nature into my packs.
You don’t need me to tell you the benefits of both of them as there is so much research out there to link into.
The Challenge
The challenge was to design an art pack to fit everyone’s busy lives, so that it was self-paced when they had time. So, I include everything that they needed, no shopping required, made it portable to grab on the run, designed it with 6 easy steps to follow to start and stop, when they wanted to, and made very short video tutorials.
The art packs can be a stand-alone, or interrelate with the resources from the other packs to capture really unique responses. Everyone is a winner on their own creative journey. Did I mention too that I take a lot of time determining which quality materials to buy for the packs. The whole sensory experience is important.
