Putting Art to Work
Briefly

Art provides significant psychological benefits, including improved well-being and cognitive performance. It allows individuals to exercise control over their environment, fostering a more positive mindset. Through the selection of art, people can express their identities and values to others, influencing how visitors perceive them and interact with them. Moreover, the appreciation of natural scenes in art can promote relaxation and revitalization, contributing to overall mental health. Art's role goes beyond aesthetics, affecting interpersonal communication and individual self-perception.
Choosing art is a way we can exercise some control over our lives, and just doing that gives us a more positive mindset to meet the world and helps our brains work more effectively, regularly improving our cognitive performance.
Via art, we can also signal to anyone who visits our home or wanders by our workspace what we value about ourselves... We remind ourselves who we really are and give others clues about how to interact with us.
