My Background

Sri van der Kroef

I am a lifelong visual artist with experience as a transformational painting teacher, passionate about guiding women into deeper connection with their authentic selves. 

With a BFA earned in 1981 and over 15 years as a graphic designer – including as art director for Save the Children International – my creative path naturally evolved into The Healing Arts.

Over the past two decades I’ve integrated somatic movement, meditation, qigong, Reiki and conscious embodiment practices to support emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing.

I co-founded Athena Healing Arts for women, combining intuitive movement and expressive painting to awaken inner awareness. I’ve also shared these practices with women in recovery and taught balance and strength classes to seniors.

Through my Paint From Your Soul classes and workshops, I offer women a safe, Soulful space to explore creativity as a mirror for healing, plus transformation and deeper insight. 

My work invites you to Step Beyond social roles and personal history – and come home to your truest self.
