You don't need to be an 'artist' to benefit from the science of art. Engaging in visual expression creates a 'Flow State' that quiets the prefrontal cortex (the anxious planning center of the brain). This shift activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and moving the body from a state of high-alert survival to restorative calm.  Art is a restorative tool that everyone can utilize.
