About Me

​

Hello, my name is Roxane Nauboris, I am a nurse, artist/ photographer, and most recently have found myself dabbling with turning my art into fashion (so exciting!!).

 

My main goal is championing mental well-being for everyone. Let's face it we all know the damaging impacts of not making mental health a priority. Like many, I have been through my own healing journey; it is through this I found that immersing myself in the creation of art to be profoundly therapeutic. 

​

Why "abstractXflow" and what does that mean?

​

The name abstractXflow (pronounced “abstracts flow”) literally means abstract AND flow, which refers to the type of art that I love most to create (i.e. fluid and abstract). Abstract is what I am most innately drawn to, while flow has psychological reference, in that it describes free movement opposed to being in  “frozen” state and encompasses of when one immerses themself so deeply in an activity, they find that time escapes them. It is in this state, that healing can truly happen.

​​

Art as Healing Modality

​​

This is not a new concept and it is becoming more mainstream. For me creating art is an excellent way to help achieve overall relaxation, increase mindfulness, motivation, purpose and overall well-being.

 

If you would like to try therapeutic art as a part of your mental health recovery in a safe, stigma-free atmosphere, abstractXflow will be offering a wide variety of online 'Find Your Flow' sessions.

​

In the meantime, I’ll be pondering my next art project and coming up with ways to make therapeutic art accessible for all.

Cheers,

R.
