Hello Dear Art Lover
What’s your addiction?
One of my addictions is reading. I’ve got to have a few books on the go all the time. I’m also very engaged in learning how to write better. When I worked at the Odette Cancer Centre in radiation therapy, I had an amazing head of department. At the Wellspring facility for cancer patients for which I qualified as I’d had colon cancer (12 years ago ), I was introduced to narrative writing with Ariella Damelin. She so inspired me that I approached Sheila, our fearless leader, to conduct a research project that included writing and art making with our radiation therapy staff. It was very successful and I actually presented it at an international conference in Helsinki. I tell you this because I believe that journalling and art making are vital to our well being.
Segue into art on your walls and reading. On my night stand today is a wonderful little book entitled ‘How Art Can Change Your Life’ by Susie Hodge. Often, when I look at art I’m not sure why I’m having certain reactions to what I’m looking at. This book is full of insights. Thanks to Angela for recommending it.
Please send me your suggestions.
Don’t forget that we can devise a payment plan to suit your budget.
If you’d like to give or receive a Mother’s Day gift that lasts longer than flowers, consider a work of art. Let me know if there is a special theme you want and I can check my inventory. Dogs..flowers..love?
Rock on,
Gail
