I have known Lynne Head-Weir very well for over forty years and have been aware of her expertise as an artist for much longer. My own background is as a qualified Social Worker/Counsellor and I worked in the field for over seventeen years. During that time I managed a specialist youth and family counselling service for a period of ten years. I implemented and encouraged the use of art in therapy throughout my social work and counselling career.
Over the past thirty years I have attended many of Lynne’s excellent art workshops as well as co-presented with her on several of these workshops. I also attended many one on one art sessions/lessons with Lynne. I observed first hand that Lynne has a brilliant ability to engage well with participants and to encourage them to experiment and explore in a way that is non-threatening and very supportive.
I have also observed Lynne to be extremely professional in her approach to her clients/participants in that she consistently upholds the principles of confidentiality and appropriate boundary setting. She is always well prepared and confident in her presentation approach as well as very understanding of individual learning differences and styles. Lynne has the ability to be flexible and make changes where appropriate. I have observed that Lynne’s very positive and uplifting demeanour makes to make participants feel comfortable and safe (under her guidance) in her presence.
Personally I gained so much from attending Lynne’s workshops and individual sessions. I felt supported and encouraged and gained a renewed enthusiasm regarding my own progress and growth. At no time did I feel pressured or pushed; Lynne always worked in a non-directive and respectful way, gently encouraging me to express any concerns or fears through my artwork.
I would highly recommend

"With Lynne as my Spiritual Guide, I was gently lead into the practice of contemplate prayer, where my creative gifts became part of my prayer language. It was exciting to experience God speaking in and through my arts practice, bringing added joy, love and purpose, to my prayer life.”

Lynne has been a wonderful addition to the world of FSG SheSpace. She brings her talents, expertise as an art therapist, and her wonderful sense of purpose to join us once per fortnight, leading the group through an expressive art session, and engaging an array of women from across the community, and experiencing a range of abilities. Thank you Lynne for your commitment as a volunteer and we look forward to working with you again in 2018.
With thanks… Namaste

Lynne is an established and accomplished artist whose talent has captured the hearts of people from all over. Her artistic passions are wide and varied and her love of nature shines through in all her works. This has been evident from her involvement as president in our Springbrook Mt Arts Community Coop.
