Collection: HEATHER POLK

“CURES” is an acronym for Creativity Unleashed Rewards Every Soul.  I believe in the power of creative expression and started Art C.U.R.E.S All as a way of encouraging others to explore creative expression as a form of self-care and stress management.  Whether you are observing art, making art or working on some creative project, the stimulation to our senses and emotions from art and creativity usually lifts our spirits, tugs at our curiosity and brings us joy.  I’m partial to the potency of people creating with their own hands.  Creating with our own hands is part power and part vulnerability; it’s important to see the power in being vulnerable.

Heather is a healthcare sales and marketing professional with an active art practice that fills her nights and weekends.  She resides in Chicago where she relocated from Atlanta over a decade ago. She is passionate about supporting caregivers, encouraging them to practice self-care and gain empowerment through creative expression.  Her art practice is centered around collage and abstract painting.
