Sally Sutton - Art of Healing - Clinic 1A & 1D Galleries

I have always been inspired and connected to nature. As a child, I used to climb up into my favorite tree near our family’s mountain home and escape from the world and find solace in nature. At an early age, I was drawn to express my feelings and emotions through painting creating an atmosphere of a particular time and place.

The art of healing has always been therapeutic for me. The experience of painting helps to uplift my spirits. When looking at one of my works, I hope that it speaks to the viewer in a healing way. I believe art has the power to rejuvenate and bring people together.

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Pablo Picasso
