Creativity-The Other Anti-Depressant
The brain is a mystery. The heart acts as intermediary between our wounded souls & imbalanced brains. Depression holds one end of the rope & the heart, the other. My art, making bags is the filament in the rope, allowing it to move & stretch. Keeping it from fraying beyond repair.

Use Art to improve mental health and wellness....
I encourage- No, let me CHALLENGE, those who feel emotionally dominated to pick up a tool- any tool- and attempt expression of what they are experiencing. You can use a paintbrush, a needle and thread, a pair of scissors and bottle of glue- even a stick to draw in the sand.... but let yourself have your say. You do not need a degree in design, you don't need an arsenal of equipment- you merely need a few minutes of time to interact with your tool and substrate. Begin with the idea that your work is to document this moment in time, so you can later reflect- don't burden yourself with the idea that someone may see your work. Let the moment be an experience of liberation for those emotions you have tucked inside. You will be surprised how refreshed and renewed you feel.... Who knows? You may find that you love to work with your hands and be driven by a passion to pursue it further-
