Writing, art, music - creativity of any sort can (and does) get us through the hellish times. We heal faster and need fewer pain medications. It relieves stress, anxiety, and depression. It helps us let go of the toxic.


Those in the who's who of the creatives have this to say about creating and mental health:



"Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing.” – Julia Cameron


“Art is about building a new foundation, not just laying something on top of what’s already there.” – Prince


“Art is a wound turned into light.”- Georges Braque


And my favourite:


“Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.” – Twyla Tharp
