I am not a gifted artist but I love to paint especially with watercolors. I think its the fact that it doesn’t allow for ‘do-overs’ or cover-ups. You have to accept what happens and sometimes stand back and let the medium do its own thing. Often times you see something unexpected and wonderful emerge

Inspired by Moffitt’s Open Art Studio, Back to the Beat offers a mobile version of this safe place of discovery. No experience required, just a willingness to let the music and brushstroke take over and let things unfold as they need.

This sample was taken from one of our sessions that was being offered at Sarasota Memorial Hospital’s HealthConnections in the summer of 2019.
