Art is Therapy

For me, art is therapy.

I’m no Georgia O’Keefe, mind you.  

Crafting is probably a better word for what I do.

For several years, I did acrylic pouring, and I even sold a few pieces.  Back then, I had a large area to work (play ) in.  Since I downsized—and I’m very glad I did that—I don’t have a lot of extra space for that sort of thing.

I do love working with resin and I recently started making ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) again.  Somewhere in the stuff that is still packed away, I have binders filled with cards I made myself and ones I received by trading online.  That group has since shut down, but scanning Facebook, I can see that there are others, and maybe I’ll join one.

As I paint or draw or cast resin, my mind calms down, and ideas for new stories begin to sprout.
