I’m excited to share a series of three paintings I created earlier this year called Follow Your Yellow Brick Road. Each one is part of my Little Gems Series—multi-layered 9” x 12” original paintings created with acrylic (both heavy body and liquid), ink, pencil, and tar gel.
The inspiration for this series came while developing my upcoming course, The Illuminated Artist in Business. In both art and business, I’ve discovered there is no single, prescribed path. Instead, each of us must find our own “yellow brick road”—a path shaped by exploration, trust, and authenticity.
Art and healing are deeply connected
Research has shown that engaging with art can reduce stress, promote well-being, and even improve health outcomes. In creating these works, I layered texture and color as a metaphor for life’s unfolding journeys.
“At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer; a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity.”
– Kimberly Hetherington
