The act of state change happens without us even noticing most of the time. When we feel some flavour of ‘bad’ we can reach for food to comfort, alcohol to relieve, Netflix to distract. Or sometimes it’s a healthier choice, although these tend to be actions made consciously. Regular exercise is now known to be equal or more effective than antidepressants for mild to moderate depression. Being in nature can calm and soothe after a long difficult week. Just looking at something beautiful can bring a profound state change to the viewer.
Art as State Changer
I have a keen interest in psychology and weave threads of my interest through my paintings. I’m excited to share my latest body of work with you because it aims to make your world-weary heart just that much more peaceful. Each painting has been crafted to induce the qualities of a good life. From Liberty to Serenity, close up met-gaze women openly share their inner worlds with you, and landscape escapes all painted for the sole purpose of bringing about a positive state change for you. Some won’t resonate with you, that’s ok, they’re for someone else. But my hope is that some you will want to linger on, swim in, dwell in, and perhaps find a moment of recovery.
