The Art Prescription is a place you can come for a dose of art. It may be sketches from my garden, a new painting, a haiku or poem and guest artists. My hope is to provide a dose of art for anyone who needs it. Your dose can be a quick fix or a meandering visit. I welcome comments and ideas and please come back soon.
I am a nurse and an artist and part of my quest in life is to intertwine these passions. Art is healing. It boost the immune system, eases pain and depression by increasing good brain chemicals, and can be a way to release emotions.
You can find my art and stationery at http://www.beverlydyer.com
I have a shop at http://www.beverlydyer.etsy.com

I love your site, poems and art and take inspiration from it daily. I’ve been painting on my art quilts by using whatever paint or fabric I have available. I learn as I go trying ideas from Quilting Arts magazine. I was wondering what was the watercolor fabric you talked about and where do you get it?
Thanks

Hi Carol,
Glad you are following! It’s been fun for me to set a goal of writing a haiku a day and pair them with art.
The watercolor fabric is actually my art printed on 100% cotton. There is a site called spoonflower that prints. I’m extremely happy with the quality of the colors and am thinking of selling fabric on my etsy shop. I have been wondering if there was a market for crafters and quilters for watercolor fabric.
I love quilts! I have about 6 that my grandparents hand-made. Truly art!
Cheers,
Beverly
