I am not an artist or an art historian.

I am not a psychiatrist.

However, I do see the healing power of art.

Although familiar with Van Gogh at an early age, it was not until a trip to Amsterdam that I fully appreciated his work.

While I enjoy many of his paintings, including the classic Starry Night, The Olive Trees evokes a welcome sense of calm.
