At 47, Meera hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in over 30 years.She walked into our studio with hesitation, whispering, “I’m not creative. I’m just here to try.” In our first Creative Art Reach session, we explored emotions through color. While others painted vibrant skies and soft landscapes, Meera dipped her brush into a shade of deep blue and gently dragged it across the canvas. Then again. Then again. No form. No rules. Just movement. By the end of class, she smiled. A real smile—not forced, not polite. Just full and free. “I didn’t know I needed this,” she said. “But I feel… lighter.” Now, Meera comes every week. Her colors have changed. Her stories have, too. Because sometimes, healing starts with just one brushstroke.
