Painting is Unleashing Creativity

Painting holds a special place for many Baby Boomers because it intersects with our values, life experiences and evolving needs as we age. Boomers were shaped by powerful visual movements with artists like Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and Salvador Dali. Because we value personal expression, painting offers a canvas-literally-for exploring identity, beliefs and Emotions. Painting as a hobby provides cognitive stimulation by boosting memory and slowing cognitive decline. The act of creating art is therapeutic, helping process emotions and reduce Stress. Our Experts in this area of the site explore not only these topics but how painting in group settings can foster social interaction, combat loneliness and help to connect with younger generations.
