Hi Everyone,
I thought I’d share a cute video that seemed to put a smile on a lot of faces —even normally grouchy ones. (LOL) My goal when making videos and art is to help create health, healing, and happiness in others. Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,
I thought I’d share a cute video that seemed to put a smile on a lot of faces —even normally grouchy ones. (LOL) My goal when making videos and art is to help create health, healing, and happiness in others. Enjoy!
Have you ever had a life threatening illness? Most of my life was major illness free and then—WHAM!—I ended up in the hospital with 2 major operations within 30 days. It was no picnic, and it took me over a year to recuperate.
From this experience, I learned on a life-or-death level about fears of dying, overcoming physical trauma, fighting for hope, and the need for real evidence-based art. Real evidence-based art uses design principles based on “real medical studies” for human health and healing.
I went on to become EDAC (Evidence-based Design Certified), and often when I paint, my goal is to create beautiful, happy art that soothes and relaxes—but also stimulates. In the recovery process, it’s important to heal (rest and relaxation) but also essential to stay upbeat and in motion (stimulated) for recovery.
Here’s another evidence-based art video for you!
Take a moment. Take a break. Enjoy a little relaxation with a one minute video with evidence-based art. No sales. No hype. It was created just for you! Evidence-based art uses medical studies in the design process.
The painting in this video was created using Evidence-based Design research. Multiple credible studies now show connections between certain types of art and positive health outcomes.
Wishing you the very best!

When I paint, I “strategically and deliberately” design each work of art to create health, healing, and happiness. There comes a point within each of my paintings where I know I have achieved aesthetic beauty. Yet, to meet the “evidence-based” findings for art that creates health or healing, I know it’s not good enough.
