Honolulu Museum of Art
Lately, I’ve been stressing out, which makes it difficult for me to formulate words = no new blog posts. Everyday, I’d mentally kick myself in the butt, for not blogging & all this pressure made me anxious; I knew I needed to get out of my head & determined the only cure for my blogging blues was immersing myself in art.
It’s been a couple years, since my last visit to the Honolulu Museum of Art & I could hardly wait to absorb every square inch of the museum grounds. Today’s mini adventure was essential to my mental health & I need to make a mental post-it to surround myself with art, whenever I’m stressed.
There’s something about being able to visually devour the details from an artist’s creation(s) that calms my nerves & quiets my mind; I like imagining the emotions an artist felt, as they painted/sculpted/carved their soon-to-be masterpiece. Even though, I speed-walked throughout the various exhibitions & posted photos of artwork that caught my attention on Instagram, I felt 1,000,000x better, when I returned from my lunch break.
If you need to submerse yourself in art & culture, I highly recommend a visit to the Honolulu Museum of Art. I can’t guarantee you’ll have the same experience as myself but (hopefully) you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for art.
