HI Karin:

That’s such a great explanation of the power of Mark Rothko’s work. For folks who might not be familiar with this painter, he did very large scale paintings in the 50s, 60s, and 70s that were composed of large blocks of color. Here’s a link in case you are interested.

It is so amazing how standing in front of a huge, minimalistic exploration of color can so vividly speak to your feelings and your experiences in a way that words cannot. Thanks Karin.

This is such a central component of the human condition and what most of us are living daily, regardless of what shows on the outside. It’s why I will always find Mark Rothko so amazing-his work pulls the viewer in with its large scale and creates a silent resonance with ones own experience to an incredible place of peace, but with honesty as some feel very sad too, like expressing a loss where words seem inadequate. Art is so powerful and seems to have no limits of what it can do for us.

HI Maya!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting! Given that it’s Creative Arts Therapies Week, I wonder if you would tell folks anything about what made you become a music therapist? Folks can also visit your beautiful blog about music therapy, self-care, and mindfulness here.

Creatively Yours,
Amy
