Perfect for you if...

  • You've never considered yourself artistic but sense that making something with your hands might help you work through emotional turmoil.
  • You're already a creative person looking for permission to make messy, process-focused work instead of gallery-ready pieces.
  • You're drawn to intuitive, non-linear approaches to healing and want concrete exercises you can start this week.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for technique-heavy instruction on how to draw or paint well, or a structured curriculum in any particular medium.
  • You prefer talk therapy or medical interventions and are sceptical that making art could genuinely move the needle on your mental health.
  • You work best with rigid rules and step-by-step formulas rather than open-ended creative exploration.

About this book

Art for Self-Care explores how creating art can help process stress, change, uncertainty, grief, and fear. Winner of the 2023 Gold Foreword INDIE Book Award, this book by Jessica Swift is designed for both artists and non-artists. The book is organized into three sections. Going Inward provides guidance on quieting the mind, accepting emotions and nonlinear thoughts without judgment, and connecting with one's inner voice, including prompts for expressing those messages. Inside Out offers advice on choosing mediums and techniques, finding inspiration, and using personal symbols, while emphasizing the importance of showing up, allowing mistakes, and valuing process over finished results. Integrating and Honoring explains how to accept healing, honor one's truth, and commit to an intuitive art practice. The book aims to help readers strengthen their relationship with their inner voice and create change through artmaking.
