Street Prophets Sunday Coffee Hour: Using Art to Battle Depression [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-03-09

The last couple of years have been rough. I have been battling severe depression. One thing I do have going for me is my art. Thanks to my second grade teacher Mrs Bluestein who wrote on my report card, "Take a look at her art!" I am an artist. I use art to battle my depression.

The cover art Sometimes When It Rains is from a Short story of the same name.

Castles Made of Sand

I have always loved the ocean. My sound machine is set on ocean waves. This is from a Castles Made of Sand poem by the same name.

Shore of Dreams

A friend came up with the title​​​ Shore of Dreams for me.

Serenity

I paint in acrylics. When things get bad I do calming pictures. I called this Serenity.

Call of the Wild

Call of the Wild has always been one of my favorite pictures. I have sold a couple copies of this picture.

Saturn and Enceladus

A man from NASA wanted to know where I got the picture from. The inspiration was an old article in National Geographic. It talked of Saturn and the moon Enceladus but this was before the Cassini probe so I used my imagination as to what it would look like.

Candle in the Wind

I did Candle in the Wind after Reid died. It was inspired by the Elton John song.

Birth of a Star

I am a huge fan of outer space. Birth of a Star is one of many space themed art works.

The Old Wooden Pier

The Old Wooden Pier is another painting that I have a soft spot for.
