Episode #4: Nakedness & Nests as Art Therapy: with artist Debbie Baxter
Manage episode 362555548 series 3459460
Debbie Baxter (she/her) is a mother, artist, fine art photographer, author of NEST, and creator/founder of The Nest Project, Inc, an arts nonprofit. Debbie turns life's pain and challenges into beautiful works of art.
In this episode, Debbie shares her powerful story of how she used art as a way to make sense of, and hold, her pain and wounding from a challenging childhood in small town Ohio. The human-sized nest she built in her own backyard provided her with the healing she’d been searching for, and she knew that others could also benefit from this form of art therapy.
Debbie has since traveled to multiple cities worldwide building handmade nests, and photographed close to 400 people naked in those nests. Her continued mission is to create projects that inspire and remind us to slow down, tend to our wounds, and reflect on how we treat the vulnerable parts of ourselves and the vulnerable members of our society.
