Painting as Therapeutic Art
Maria Arroyo is an art hobbyist. She enjoy painting and piano to relieve boredom. She is a self taught painter and has explored several mediums initially from graphite pencil, charcoal, pastel, coloured pencil, acrylic and recently she is into water colour painting. She finds exploring, creating, mixing colours fun and stimulating. This process relieves anxiety and panic attack. Whenever the brain is getting too active and scrambling, she grab paper and colours to relax and focus on a specific subject to paint. The subject predominantly sky, mountain, sea and everything in nature. The result is great and fulfilling creation of art.
She is an advocate of painting is a therapeutic art.
