Art As Medicine

Transcript

Today I want to talk about art.

Art has been a big part of my life for about five years.

I really enjoy connecting with different mediums.

I take long breaks from art as well.

It seems that I am more active during the winter months.

I think it's because there are less things to do besides not getting bored with life.

I started to work on art because of chronic pain.

I found myself constantly thinking about pain or focusing too much on it.

So I made it a point that it would be an active meditation for me.

Yes,

I can feel the pain but no,

I no longer focus on the pain.

Art has really been a wonderful teacher.

I really hope that you can too explore art and whatever the reason for it,

I hope that it brings you peace,

Tranquility and that it becomes some sort of medicine for your soul.

I really like this quote by Pablo Picasso,

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Have a good day.

Thank you for listening.
