Creating art is a healing process. Unfortunately, the need for art does not always strike at the most convenient times. In fact, the need for art may come when you are feeling the least inspired.
But it is at these times when it is critical to be intentional about making space for it. From my perspective, art, creativity and imagination are essential to human mental well-being. If you can’t create a lot, create a little. And if you don’t feel like creating, consider visiting an art museum to find inspiration. It’s guaranteed to uplift you.
“I created this installation because I strongly believe our entire world is in dire need of greater compassion and understanding of another’s viewpoint. My goal with this artwork is to have people reflect how we are all capable of compassion whether it is regarding a family member, a neighbor, a fellow citizen or a person of another culture.”— Trish Joy Duggan
