I love art! I have original pieces created by friends and my late father on display. I have other original artworks I’ve collected on trips or from local artists wherever I’ve lived hanging throughout my three story townhouse. Art helps make a house a home. It also has therapeutic value, as one of my sources, president of the American Art Therapy Association shared in my latest piece. You can read that here.
If you need a nature break, a digital artwork can help provide it on a TV screen.

All three sources for this art-centric article will be my guests this afternoon in my one-year anniversary Clubhouse WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS event! You can catch that here.
