ABOUT US

Our mission is to inspire youth to discover hope, healing & growth in their lives through nature, reflection and art. We implement our mission by creating educational expressive art activity books that take youth on a creative journey. Through the reflections and activities in the book, youth discover the beauty of nature and wildlife and how spending time in nature has a powerful way of balancing their natural rhythm and helping them feel calm, clear and regulated.  They discover hope, healing and growth in their lives through creativity, self expression, writing and coloring. They discover how reflecting on a positive question can shift their perspective and help guide their inner transformation while discovering their value and voice. Ultimately, they discover that their life matters, what their place in their community is and how their gifts and talents can become an offering to bring kindness to others.

HOW WE STARTED

OUR FOUNDER

Christina DiMari established Discovery Art for Youth with a desire to create beautifully designed resources that empower children and youth to thrive in all areas of their lives. A teacher and certified art therapist, Christina has traveled around the world leading youth of diverse backgrounds to discover hope, healing and growth in their lives through nature, reflection and art.

Through the nature-themed expressive art books she creates and the wellness rooms she designs, youth are surrounded by the beauty of nature to help them process their emotions, learn how to self-regulate, foster courage, develop positive coping skills, express themselves in creative ways, and set positive goals for their future.

Christina and her team have been able to reach over 2 Million youth by providing book grants to leaders of youth in schools, hospitals and youth programs.
