About C Unique Creations & Carey Rigby-Wilcox
The Joy Carey found in her art and creativity spills over into every area of her life. She has enjoyed spreading her joy for art in several different ways, such as guiding many in-home painting parties teaching art classes in communities around Saskatchewan, and making visits to schools to spread the joy that accompanies creative expression. Sharing her passion for art to everyone willing to explore with paint was Carey's driving purpose. Carey is not limited to any particular style or medium; she loves all types of art, and she is also an award-winning author and illustrator.
After major traumatic events in her life, Carey completely stopped creating anything at all. Stopping art and her creative expression seemed appropriate at the time, but soon she felt her own life dwindling and becoming dark. For an artist, the act of creating is as necessary as breathing, and it was when she forced herself to paint again that she felt herself coming back to life.
Personally pushing herself in her creativity helped Carey work through trauma, PTSD, grief, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and stress. " Art saved my life," Carey explains. Through the self healing pursuit of art and creatively, Carey supports others as they navigate their own healing journey. "It has brightened my darkest moments of joy back into her own life, and the more she embraces art, the more inspired she feels. She hope you feel it too when you look at her unique creations and original works of art!
