* Veteran and retired teacher Ron Dinsdale uses art as a form of therapy to cope with life’s challenges. * He sculpted during the pandemic to help him cope with the isolation and uncertainty. * Dinsdale recently entered his sculpture into the VA Health Care System’s annual art competition.
He says, “I’ve used art to cope with the trauma of war, the loss of my wife, and the challenges of everyday life.”
Dinsdale’s work is a testament to the transformative power of art. His paintings, which depict scenes of peace and tranquility, are a stark contrast to the harsh realities of war. His art is a reflection of his inner strength and resilience. The Creative Arts Festival is a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery. It provides veterans with a safe space to express themselves, explore their emotions, and find solace in their art.
