Reflections
Reflections is about making a connection with art. Having art in your life is a not a luxury it is a wellbeing practice. An original painting comes directly to you with a handwritten reflection from Kathleen. You will receive an original painting four times a year, January, April, July and October.
Each small painting will be on fine arts paper or a small canvas. It will be signed by the artist.
You can collect, frame and or give as gifts. If you want to purchase a full year Reflections for someone, you will need to add their name and address. These small works will not be available as prints and will always remain original paintings. Each one is unique and created for you.
There is a limited number of offerings for the Reflection Project and it will be closed once a month or the year is filled.
Two Options:
Choose One Reflection and you receive one original painting for the upcoming month.
OR
Choose One Year of Reflections and an originial painting will come four times a year.
The Art of Wellbeing
“From delighting in the creativity of others, seeing something from a different perspective, sharing that experience or forging connections, I know I always leave our galleries feeling energized, inspired and uplifted,” says Karin Hindsbo, the director of Tate Modern – and she’s certainly not alone. According to a recent study, looking at art can light up the pleasure center in the brain and release dopamine, the feel-good chemical – which is why visiting a gallery can be a valuable act of self-care, especially in the cold, dark winter months.”
The Power of the Arts
The power of the arts has always been with us, but a deeper understanding of its impact on the brain is relatively new. Research now makes clear that experiencing or creating art sparks a dynamic interplay among brain cells that spearheads billions of changes affecting our thoughts, emotions, and actions. This knowledge elevates the arts to a superpower in its potential for healing and empowerment. Indeed, if we were to design a tool from scratch to improve learning, health, and overall well-being, it would look like the arts.
