In this episode, we talk with Lisa who is a person living with Parkinson's and has found painting as her therapy. She never painted before, but after living with Parkinson's for 10 years, she decided to give it a try and now she's hooked. According to the APDA, "Art therapy may also be a tool that enhances the lives of people with PD more generally. One small study investigated clay art in people with PD and showed improvements in hand dexterity, mood, and quality of life."
