Art as Expressive Therapy

As time goes on we find ourselves more time poor than ever. It is a struggle to find space for ourselves when everything else seems to be moving around us so quickly. I believe we can all make art, it is within us. We just need to make a little bit of room for it in our lives, lose our expectations and inhibitions and discover the joy of creating. 
Creating, more importantly can be an expressive way to heal, whether it be healing a separated love, loss and grief or daily challenges.  Art has healing and mood enhancing properties.  Today I get to teach painting and it is the best part of my week where I get to share, laugh and connect. Art equals happy.

“The key to knowing joy is being easily pleased.”
