Art Heals

As i’m sure you can tell, I often struggle with my health.

But I hope you can also see how much painting nurtures my soul and heals my body. A little at a time, sure, but it definitely helps me feel better and keeps my mind active.

My past career as an Occupational Therapist prepared me for a life of adapting activities so I can still participate in the things that bring me joy.

Despite having muscle weakness that prevents me from reaching forward and/or upward with my arms, i’ve stopped using an easel and now paint in my lap. My recliner lets me extend my legs and becomes a great surface to place my canvases upon as I paint!

Episodes of double vision? Perfect opportunity to practice pointillism.

Hard time breathing? Meditate on the colors, the sensory input of the textures.

Yes. Art heals
