The art of living:

Key points from a 2024 article I had published with Herstory this year:

Creativity as a Universal Need: Mandy Lacy underscores that creativity is not just for artists but for everyone, serving as a critical element of mental and physical well-being.
Scientific Backing for Artistic Engagement: Engaging in creative activities has tangible health benefits, including enhanced brain function and reduced stress levels.
Artistic Expression Beyond Skill: Creativity doesn't require professional skill; it's about personal expression and finding joy in the process, regardless of the outcome.
Lifelong Creative Journey: Mandy's story illustrates that one's creative journey can be lifelong and constantly evolving, adapting to different life stages and circumstances.
Encouragement to Explore Creativity: She encourages everyone to explore different creative outlets to find what truly brings them joy and fulfilment.

Here is a copy of the article.
