Everyone is an artist. And given the chance to spark their imagination, regardless of age, the evidence is in the doing!

I had the pleasure of sharing my joy of painting with families at the UNC Wellness Center. Based on the concept that expressive painting promotes wellness by creating a time for mindfulness, we really just had fun! Therefore we lowered our blood pressure and heart rate,  while boosting our feel good chemicals.

Each artist was given an introductory technique. The art produced is a result of individual expression, imagination, and the willingness to explore the moment with paint.

Cindy Bohlin and her daughter Margot (age 7) painted side-by-side, each with their own voice, while sharing a special parent-child moment.
