The Healing Power of Art
"Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived"
The artistic process and the healing process are one. Both can cure, rejuvenate and eventually bring joy. An artist challenged by illness can give visibility to the sick and disabled. Behind every adversity is a hidden largess. We just cannot see it right away. And consider the elation if we triumph over adversity!
Don t get me wrong, no way, I don t want to dwell on my illnesses. I want my art to be fun, whimsical and irreverent because by doing so the full healing potential of art is realized.

"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious" -Brenda Gill
We need those endorphins! Why do you think I like chocolate and sexercise!
