Hopefully, my readers know I write about both my art and mental health resources. If you are a new reader, well, there you have it – here at the “…Studios” you will get a little of both of my Gemini sides! With today’s post about my new online art gallery.

As a result, I am unveiling my new online art gallery. The gallery is divided into six curated collections:

• Coastal Collection: abstract collage landscapes and other coastline art.
• Cozy Cabin: all things cabin and cozy!
• House and Home: interiors and exteriors in a variety of media.
• Fall and Farm: scenes from the Upstate New York countryside.
• Patterns: showcasing my vintage Apple Trees and Cores pattern and
• The Whimsicals: vintage pen and ink with watercolor characters.

Viewing art is good for our mental health. Recently, I did this while visiting my sister in Boston. She treated my other sister and me to a day at the Museum of Fine Arts. Studies show that looking at art can can improve our mental health. This includes stress relief, improving mood, enhancing creativity, give a sense of relief, and improve social connections. Our “sisters trip” to the museum definitely improved our connections. We hadn’t done anything together with just “the sisters” since we were kids! Not only were we treated to the art, but we learned more about each other in the process.

As always, enjoy and thanks for reading –
