Art as a Tool for Healing.

Art is increasingly recognized as an essential element in healthcare environments. From children’s hospitals to rehabilitation centers, artworks help reduce patient stress, support recovery, and create spaces that feel more human and welcoming.

Research has shown that viewing art can lower blood pressure, decrease anxiety, and even reduce the need for pain medication. Hospitals like Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and Seattle Children's integrate art collections to create healing-centered environments.

Abstract art, in particular, offers a soothing effect without imposing a fixed story. Patients can find their own meaning, which empowers them during difficult moments and promotes emotional resilience.

My abstract line art is created with these principles in mind — each piece aims to gently engage the viewer's imagination and activate brain areas that support calm and reflection.

By transforming sterile spaces into places of warmth and curiosity, art becomes more than decoration: it becomes a tool for healing and hope.
