Hello 2021!                                                                                                                                                                    

 

For many, last year was not much fun. Looking back on what I enjoyed most, I realized the answer was artwork. I was curious why painting would make this difficult year seem easier to handle so I googled “Art as Meditation.” I found an article written by Maia Gambis, “Why Making Art is the New Meditation.” The article states that art like meditation, allows us to create space between our own negative, anxious thoughts and connect with our true selves - as opposed to the fleeting or false sense of identity we sometimes have when caught up in our thoughts and emotions. Many U-tube videos are on line about creating art. Give it a try if you are feeling stressed; It might help.
