About Just Drawing


an interactive blog
we really want to hear from you!
We feature other artists and we have exhibitions online we'd like you to participate in with us!



Do you love drawing like we do? Some of us have depression, anxiety, stress, mental illness or physical pain, and we find drawing helps relieve the symptoms...maybe it could help you too! If you already draw for relief and would like to share about it, we'd love to feature you here on this blog.....
DUST OFF THAT PENCIL CASE AND GET THOSE PENCILS OUT OK!!

Just email the answers below to karinlouisetaylor@gmail.com with a link to your drawings and there's every chance we'll be featuring you sometime in the not too distant future!
1. Why do you love drawing?
2. Has drawing helped to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress or illness?
3. Where is your favourite drawing place?

I'm excited to be adding my drawings here as often as I can and hoping to hear from you!

Frida Kahlo – The Role of Creativity in the Perception, Personification and Healing of Pain

Frida Kahlo – The Role of Creativity in the Perception, Personification and Healing of Pain
I have a special interest in pain, and people in pain…any sort of pain, who find drawing and creativity relieves the symptoms…and because of that my mind constantly fosters ideas, and tries to gain more understanding about it, through collating information and clues as to how creativity helps and I am very interested in hearing from people on the topic and learning more about it.

    Hi there Karin! I just tried the Kahlo-bubble-link and it seems it is no longer linking? The Kahlo fan that I am has driven me to respond to your beautiful painting of our Frida. I believe you have really honored her. The eyes do remind me of your trademark eyes, but you have really captured a gorgeous persona!!! Love it and you.
