Entrepreneur Gives Birth To Her Creative Side
Susanne Watson-Bongard offers art and wellness programs for all ages with her company, Art and Soul Express.
The studio is home-based with a focus on new and expectant mothers they can also give birth to their own creative abilities. In addition to the art, the workshops offer a variety of honest perspectives and experiences in pregnancy.
Ms. Watson-Bongard said mothers find the program refreshing since they can relate to others in their situation.
“It’s beneficial for new moms and expectant moms to get together in a creative environment and talk about the ups and downs of motherhood,” she said. “You don’t always take the time that you need to for yourself. It’s important to get out of the house and talk to other moms and hear their stories.”
She describes the programs as “art studio meets spa revolution,” illustrating the relaxing atmosphere of the environment.
No artistic background is required, which Ms. Watson-Bongard hopes is something that will be born out of creative exercises throughout the sessions.
At the workshops, women can create their own paintings, clay pieces and baby clothing designs. Ms. Watson-Bongard said it is her two daughters, ages two and a half and 14 months old, who truly inspire her work and she encourages people to create art works that are meaningful to them personally.
