Roben-Marie & Sandi share during the Hurricane Dorian ordeal, their thoughts on Art as Therapy. During times of stress - art can be so therapeutic and a chance to breathe, to relax, to do repetitive motions that soothe the soul.

In times of stress and trauma, consider:

• reaching out in this wonderfully supportive creative community
• creating with no expectations at all
• organizing your supplies in a small way
• creating alongside a friend
• breathing through repetitive motions

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and comments!
