Healing Through Art Quotes

“My art is largely made up of my pain; re-framed, redesigned and re-purposed. It's a mutually beneficial experience for both the creator and the beholder. Transformative healing is a beautiful process.”
― Jaeda DeWalt

“Falling apart created space for my art —
I do not blame anyone for it happening,
Nor do I thank anyone — not even myself — for letting it happen.

I will never be entirely put back together,
And I may never feel complete again,
But at least I have the chance to create myself anew.

And for that — only for that — I am thankful.”
― Laura Chouette, Where the Quiet Blooms

“you find your resilience hidden deep inside of you,
you remember your past,
you count your blessings,
you start to love yourself again,
for who you were, who you are
who you had become.
