Description

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color, or another medium to a solid surface (called the “matrix” or “support”). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.

“Every painting is a story of healing, of seeking “love-tings” and “comfort-tings.”

“When we let the “tings” of pain, the stings that linger, out into the painting, then we see it. Then we can comprehend it at every level of the brain, from the conscious to the subconscious. For we speak in many languages other than words.”

“The painter is a healer of the self and others, for their art is a story told in the foundational languages of the brain – in emotion, in visual dream-language. And so their painting is societal medicine, and the reason we are so drawn to art becomes ever more obvious.”
