The right side of your brain is also your creative side. This is another reason why making art and doing creative things is important for anyone dealing with stress and recovering from trauma.

It was fun painting one of my favorite pieces with this lovely couple tonight. "Don't Fear the Storm" encourage us to face the storm with our eyes focused on our destination and faith in the lighthouse keeper. I look forward to painting with you both again!

Today is one of my favorite days of the year! "National Inspire Your Heart with Art Day!" Due to my busy schedule, I was unable to plan a proper celebration. I want to encourage each of you to do something creative today and share a picture with me! You decide what is art!

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.
