Lambertville, NJ – Sojourner in Lambertville, New Jersey invites the public to a coloring book social on June 13th from 6 to 8 at. At 6 pm, artist Gwenn Seemel will talk about the new mental health workbook, Everything’s Fine, guests will be invited to color and have some cookies!
The Everything’s Fine workbook started as a series of paintings that were all about the artist reclaiming their mind from a bad place. It was late 2021, and, at the time, most people wanted to pretend that the protocols and privations of the first eighteen months of the pandemic hadn’t happened. If you were aware of your mental health issues, you were mostly considered a mopey grumble-bum who should lighten up. So Seemel painted about the ways they weren’t connecting with the world around them, and, as they shared their paintings, they found people who understood where they were coming from.
In the workbook, those paintings have become coloring pages and questions for reflection that can help you figure out how to articulate more about what’s going on in your mind.
Seemel says: “Creating this book has been a vulnerable process, but also one that’s helped me heal. I hope that filling in Everything’s Fine with your colors and feelings brings you some of that goodness too!”
