Art and art therapy are one of the most successful ways of dealing with illness. Creativity is a human instinct… whatever you see as creative is valid, from making pictures, to sewing, to taking photos, to hoeing the garden. Write a poem, sing a song, dance a waltz.

Art therapy is a recognised part of medical support, offered by the Maggie Centres and by qualified art therapists as well as some homeopaths who use art as part of their practice.
