“Healing Art is being born as we speak.  The concept is catching fire, is awakening in people’s spirits, artists, musicians and dancers are realizing their imagery has meaning that their imagery heals them, others, their neighborhood or the earth.”

                 

                          Michael Samuels, from his book “Creative Healing”

 

“Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics.  It brings healing.”

                 

                          Julia Cameron from her book “The Artist's Way”

 

“At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source.  When you are an artist, you are a healer, a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity.”

 

                          Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, Author of  “Kitchen Table Wisdom”

                         

“I think artists can go to a level of vision that can often save us from a situation which seems to have no solution whatsoever.”

                          Susan Griffin, from the New Dimensions program "The Power of Story                                        in Social Change"

“Creativity healed me.  I don’t know that I could think of any word that I get more inspired by than the word healing.”

                          SARK from "Succulent Creativity Can Heal Your Life"

 

 

“Sensations grab at our emotions, making them a useful tool in maximizing the artworks impact on the viewer. But there is a place in our overly emotional heart that yields to reason. From that place I have come to understand beauty to exist in every imaginable thing.  My purpose for creating a work of art is to celebrate beauty in those who see it and to persuade those who do not.”

                       Jerome Lawrence  Artist and Recovering Consumer, Atlanta, GA                 

“Art is our one true global language.  It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it acknowledges no class.  It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, transform.  It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible.”

                          Richard Kamler, Artist and Creator of the “Seeing Peace” Project

“It is your ability as a creative person to envision positive change that will make a difference.”

                          Patricia Johanson, Environmental Artist

“Art is not a part of life, it is not an addition to life, it is the essence of those pieces of us that make us fulfilled.  That gives us hope.  That gives us dreams and provide the world a view very different than what it would have been without us.”

                          Hasan Davis, Artist, Attorney, and Activist

“The portal of healing and creativity always takes us into the realm of the spirit.”

                          Angeles Arrien, Author, The Nine Muses: A Mythological Path to                                                                                   Creativity

“Through art, we can change the laws of the world...”

                          Frederick John Kiesler, Visionary Painter, Sculpture and Architect
