#stayathome mural painting pt. 2. I don't usually film myself painting because it's kind of a pain to set up, but it's pretty neat to watch the process unfold. Still working on my video skills…lots more painting to come. Not sure where I'm going with this… . . . . . . . #timelapse #timelapsemural #timelapsepainting #timelapseart #cranepainting #mural #quarantine #quarantineart #quarantinelife #speedpainting #cranes #bird #birdart #artistsoninstagram #streetartistry #wallart #covid19art #stayathome #ladieswhopaint #brooklyn #brooklynart #artnews #artjournal #artday #wings #style #balance #stircrazy #interiordecorating

“I realized I could practice self-care and continue to grow professionally at the same time, from the comfort of my own home.”
Art therapist Jessie Novik

“As an art therapist who is still seeing clients through zoom, I wanted to give my participants a glimpse into my creative process and show them that I’m still staying actively engaged in what I do,” Novik said via email. “I also wanted to enhance my virtual backdrop.”

In addition to her personal creative endeavors, Novik has lead community-based public art projects throughout New York and Connecticut.

“Figuring out how to transform my workload and lifestyle in order to keep moving forward with my professional goals has been the main focus of my recent work,” Novik added.
