Realityarts

Welcome to Episode 96 and Arts and Wellness Wednesday.  Today I am sharing about the work that I have been doing in the Arts and Health field.  It all started for me when my mother began showing signs of Dementia and we had to put something in place to manage - I needed to find a way to cope through it all.  I have found creativity to be a lifesaver and not only helped me cope with the ever increasing demands on my time, but also was a great tool for my mother to be able to express herself in different ways.

The more I got involved into the connection between art, creativity and health the more opportunities opened up to be able to talk about the work I was doing and people who were impacted.

On Wednesdays we focus on the Arts and how it can impact our health and well-being, looking at activities that you can do to be more creative across the board and for those who are carers tips and strategies that you can use. I will also be sharing reviews, resources and other insights. I will be looking at the nuggets that the artists share and see how we can apply it in some way to our own lives, what ever your interests.

Welcome to Episode 94 and Inspirational Short.  Fridays Inspiration post is to get you set for the weekend and the week ahead. Today I talk about Peace - we all need some right?  Can you carry peace with you where ever you go?  Even in the midst of it we can find those moments of peace, quieting our minds and leaving the chatter at the door.  Let me know how you approach it.

The best way to utilize these weekly 'Friday Shorts' is to spend time meditating on the words and allowing them to permeate your inner consciousness.

Think about the changes you would like in your own life and the step or steps you would like to take. Take out your art journal and be creative, use colour, texture, whatever you feel inspired to use.

I love to hearing from listeners and you can connect with me on a number of platforms

Welcome to the Episode 93 of the Podcast and the Arts and Wellness Wednesdays.

In this Episode I speak to artist Aaron Hamilton at the Caribbean Fine Art Fair.  Aaron is an artist and native of the island of Dominica. He enjoys creating images using a wide range of mediums, and his inspiration is found in his childhood home where the rivers and mountains with the variety of tints and shades of colours drive his thoughts; this is what compels his art.  Aaron was one of the participating artists at CaFA

In this Episode I speak to artist Francks Deceus at the Caribbean Fine Art Fair.  Born in  Haiti Deceus and his family moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was 9 years old.  His work incorporates many of the influences and aesthetic forms of the 40's and 50's visual artist like William Johnson and Jacob Lawrence.  His modernist style combines figurative, abstract and layered elements and relies heavily on a simplification of form and function.
