Art and Mental Health

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.

This image shows an aws Studios.art watercolor in their new online gallery of a colorful back yard in the fall looking towards a window of a house with a wooden cardinal decoration in the window. The work is titled, "Wooden Cardinal."

Helping Readers Navigate

I’ve tried to clarify about doing both art and mental health in my blogs over the past year. Still, I figured, subscribers and guests need an easier way to view my art.

This image shows a collage in the new online gallery of works by Alis Wintle Sefick of aws Studios.art. The collage is an abstract beach scene with beach chairs by the surf, condos in the background, multi-colored shells in the foreground, and postcards blowing around in the breeze. The work is titled, Postcards from the Beach.

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

While I currently work with recycled fabric and paper collage, each collection contains art I created using other media too. These include watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media.

Art and Mental Health

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.

Filling Space on a Large White Wall

And, often, large art is too abstract for more relatable needs.  As well as obtaining a perfect fit can take a while. With the holidays coming, many experience anxiety that their home or office won’t be ready. Time is running out.
