Tia Crystal has literally turned dark days bright with just a few strokes of a paint brush. The London-born Tia says she always had that artistic streak in her. But, it wasn't a life her family really understood or supported. The mother of three barely tasted that distant but strong feeling, working in interior design and cake decoration.
She struggled with anorexia, bulimia, and self esteem issue. But, at 40 years old it all changed during a simple stroll on a street in Italy when she found a paintbrush on the street.
Tia accepted the moment as sign to pursue her true passion ... fine art. In just a few years, Tia has completed more than 500 paintings, just opened The House of Tia Crystal gallery, and has sold her work worldwide.
Her dramatic use of colors portrays Tia's exuberance and love of life, a feeling she hopes those who collect her fine art consistently feel. She credits the pursuit of her passion, for turning the tables on her toughest times. Tia believes her life story and work support her philosophy, "art inspires the energy of the soul".

We love sharing her story and can't resist showing you one more of her incredible paintings. We hope her story inspires you as it as us. Be well.
I read from some blogs that art is one of the best therapies for depression. It is also a good way of expressing our emotions and ideas. I'm so glad that I found out on your blog that art also helps heal Anorexia and Bulimia.
