“Painting and Mental Health”

Jazz

I was asked a question the other day.  “How do you feel when you’re painting”?


A – I feel liberated. I feel connected to something beyond comprehension that gives me a feeling inside of accomplishment, contentment, substance, & purpose. I feel elite. “I belong”… There are no right or wrongs, mistakes, faults, flaws, judgement, or errors when it comes to art. Just create what you feel & let it flow & go. You don’t have to be an expert. 1 squiggly line means something unique to each individual in the room. The results will be “you” & in that, a blossomed “you” will become a new added piece to your identity and nobody(I repeat), NOBODY can take that away from you.

P.S. – Painting gives you the perfect time to be in the present tense without giving too much effort. It’s all about you being in the moment. It’s you and the galaxy of your emotions, soul, spirit, and mind.
