In the presence of art, we may experience inspiration, wonder, and even hope; it can spark our imagination, creativity, and thinking. Our internal awareness and capacity for transformation can expand through experiences with art.
When in front of an artwork, we are connected to the artist and to others who have experienced it. And connection, to ourselves and others, is at the core of art and healing.
Healing isn’t a destination with a fixed timeline or endpoint but rather a path, or many paths. Just like each visit with a favorite work of art is a new experience with new insights, healing is a journey with possibilities stretching out in all directions.

Mesmerizing metallics, colorful movements, and bold, strong lines depict this explosive collection. These "Happy Accidents" are an expression of CM’s unleashed potential and traumatic past. He turns his pain into power, as he puts his heart and soul into every movement to paint acrylic on canvas.

Corey Monz is a man of few words; an artist with a passion for contemporary art. As a child, Corey was inspired by the ability and mannerisms of painter, Bob Ross. He watched Ross' TV show with his mother, who passed away from cancer early on. He remembers Ross encouraging painters to “not be afraid to make a mistake;” that you learn more when you tried new things. Hence where Ross’ famous phrase came from, "happy accidents!"
As an adult with a keen and discerning eye for detail, fashion and design became Corey’s living and career path. Over the past several years, he discovered painting as a creative and therapeutic outlet. Corey is thrilled to share with you his latest collection “Moving Forward.”
