Painting with purpose

Ann Johnson writes about art, faith and creative expression

by Ann Johnson 2nd October 2015

Art benefits us in so many ways. It nourishes our spirits and provides sanctuary for our troubled souls. It encourages peaceful, joyful collaborations, cements communities and forges friendships within a framework of equality – one reason why it is targeted for destruction in war zones. On a personal basis, Quakerism has helped me weave together and communicate my two passions – the gift of art and my concern for animal rights and welfare.
