Whether you're struggling with intense emotions or simply seeking a new way to nurture yourself, I offer practical tips for getting started with painting, choosing supplies, and using art as a tool for emotional wellness. Come discover how putting brush to paper might just become your favorite way to find calm and express yourself.
