With a lifelong love of art and over 35 years of art experience, Stacey has learned to use the creative process to support her well-being during treatments, hospital stays, and the recovery process.

Why art? Creativity can help lower your perception of pain by giving you a meaningful distraction and shifting your mental focus away from the pain you might be experiencing. It’s not only a distraction, but a way to alter your mood and tune into a more relaxing state, so your pain doesn’t overcome you.
