Amy
I paint as meditation. To quiet my tired or hurt soul.
I paint when I’m sad and questioning EVERYTHING in my Life.
I paint as a way of recording what I see and remembering.
I paint so I can teach better.
Sure I teach technique and methods to improve your artistic abilities, but I also believe and have personal and professional experience to prove that the very act itself is life giving and life validating.

As a dedicated dietitian, I approach wellness holistically, understanding that every aspect of ourselves is interconnected. With a keen focus on brain health, I’ve invested significant time in specialized training.
My mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to preserve cognitive function and vitality throughout their lives.
Recognizing the profound impact of essential oils on brain health, I’ve seamlessly integrated them into my daily regimen, witnessing their transformative effects firsthand.
Delving into the science behind the therapeutic benefits of art, as explored in Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us, I’ve embraced painting not only as a creative outlet but also as a means of promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
