Art can be a mighty tool if you find yourself struggling with mental health. After years of dealing with anxiety and depression, and taking a step back from her work with youth as a result, guest Luz Maria Clayton found an escape in drawing on illustration apps on her smartphone and tablet. When traditional mental health services were not always effective, she found that spending time creating was a powerful outlet for her feelings. Eventually her self-taught art skills and passion for sharing her work with others led to the opening of her own business. Her shop, Arte de Luz, a joint-venture with her mother, is a bright little spot located in the neighborhood where she grew up—a dense urban community known for its cultural diversity. Listen to Luz’s heartfelt story about how involvement in the arts can open up new opportunities for us to thrive when it feels like we've got nowhere left to go.
