Can drawing make the world a better place? | Brenda Loukes-Johnson | TEDxSammamish Women

Could something as simple as drawing help us become more grounded, compassionate, and connected? Brenda invites us to rediscover drawing not as an artistic performance, but as a daily practice of creativity, calm, and connection that can ripple outward to make the world just a bit kinder, one line at a time. Brenda Loukes is a professional multi-disciplinary artist with a background in musical theatre, television production, trauma-informed massage, dance, and movement therapy. She is passionate about creating community and brings 20 years of facilitating therapeutic movement and creativity workshops to her art practice, which sits at the intersection of healing, neuroscience and planetary health. She grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa and at the age of 50, relocated to the USA in 2018 with her husband. Brenda is the creator of InFlow Project, an online space where she teaches women to reconnect to their innate creativity, using expressive painting and doodling as tools for healing. She published The Doodle Journal for Grown Ups in 2016, to encourage adults to use creativity for getting centered and calm. Brenda loves to draw on walls, and making large-scale paintings in her home studio in Sammamish is part of her wellness program. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
