Instagram post 2317654498162315866_7355221419 The healing power of art Creative activities can relieve stress, aid communication, and help arrest cognitive decline. Art has an important role in helping people through particularly difficult times, including addiction and even facing the end of life.

Instagram post 2312556061477762719_7355221419 @ambercoppingsdesigns Moving from handwork to digital work and back again is one of my favorite ways to push myself as an artist. All of my POWER students get a taste of this, too, using the iPads we borrow from @pfpca . Today we explored hand drawing Zentangles in our sketchbooks, then using our new meditative drawing skills on top of photos from last week’s screen printing field trip. I was too busy helping everyone learn with the iPads to take photos of that digital part, but here are some of the cool Zentangles. Next week, we will design textiles to use in our sewing projects! #artinrecovery

Check out the rest of his work and follow him on Instagram here: @jupiter_vii His love for art began when he was a kid and he fell in love with science fiction and horror films. The posters from the books and movies inspired his own art. #ArtInRecovery #ArtForRecovery

Instagram post 2308241465325496678_7355221419 Reshare from @paperpaintings_byannie "for a wonderfully kind woman" *A note on this piece: I struggled a lot with perfectionism when working on this piece because I felt like it wouldn't ever going to be good enough to call 'finished'. I had my peers in the center help with holding me accountable in setting a time limit for when I would be done working on it and when I would finally gift it to it's new owner. I still don't feel like it's done but I am thankful to my support for helping me move on with my art life instead of fixating! 3.14.19 #artinrecovery

Instagram post 2307502553565050817_7355221419 Found on: Alcoholic Outsider Artist "My pictures are confused, abrupt, adamant, honest and entirely lacking in foresight. They are born from an argument between life's experiences, subconscious impulses and my own muddled aesthetic preferences; this dialogue is strained but ongoing. They are made possible only by the depth of my illness and the gift of my sobriety. I have accepted both graciously. They are, individually and as a group, an unwitting self-portrait."

I loved it and always knew I'd pick it up again. I drew out the design a couple of days ago, and it's my new house. #artinrecovery

Instagram post 2304587284744228822_7355221419 “As soon as I got home from the hospital one of the first things I tried was painting. I knew my drawing ability had been affected but I could not imagine never painting again so my style changed considerably. I stopped focusing on drawing and started to work with colors and textures. I would love to make this my career.” — Laura Kupac Laura Kupac is originally from Brazil. After debilitating health issues in 2013 - two brain aneurysms and a stroke - she had to relearn basic life skills such as walking, talking, dressing, and feeding herself. Her drawing skills were seriously affected due to damage to the parietal part of her right brain and she initially thought she would never be able to paint again. With a lot of discipline and effort, Laura is developing her current style.

Instagram post 2301932539805962597_7355221419 An Ellensburg artist’s vision helped define this small Okanogan County city before the devastating Carlton Complex Fire, and two years later that vision is being restored. The late Dick Elliott’s “Reflections on the Columbia,” a 1992 art project that covered Pateros’ two squat gray water towers with colorful patterns, was destroyed by the fire. The thousands of plastic reflectors Elliott used to create the patterns melted into charred smears during the July 2014 fire. And now, with houses rebuilt, power lines restrung and golden grasses regrown on once-blackened hillsides, those reflectors are being replaced by a Seattle art-installation company. How marvelous!

He learned to use acrylic, water paints and colored pencil. As time passed on he kept painting it evolved into a hobby - an outlet and a skill for him. When he turned 18, he started creating his own art with his own characters, he was in a really dark place. It became a way for him to express his feelings and make friends. Frank creates art that tells a story that represents his life and feelings at the moment in time. Each series has 5 pieces in it, they are tied into a quote that relates to his story. His newest one is called 'Mr. Screw'.
