Winter months can bring dreary and cold weather, which might put a damper on our mood. Art has the power to be an immediate mood booster and leave us with feelings of relaxation or mental wellbeing.
Studies have shown that enjoying an artist’s piece of work can make you happier and have a positive effect on your overall mood. A study done at the University of College London found that looking at art can have the same psychological impact on you as feeling romance!
Whether you are looking for a burst of color to add some much-needed cheer to your space, or calming art to soothe and create a zen oasis, tap into the uplifting power of art with these original works.

Calm closure by Timon Sloane

Soft Ground by Sarah Lapp
Painting, Oil on Canvas
A word from the artist:
“I connect to and process my world by creating my art. My work consists of two overlapping bodies, one strictly abstract, and one in which I introduce imagery and abstract it and the landscape that it exists in.”
Uptown by Max Jones
Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
A word from the artist:
“My work is about the quiet space in your head where snippets of life and feelings and memories live. An inspired sunset or mountain view brought to life in the form of abstract color blending. Not an actual image of the memory but more like the feeling of the moment.”
