About

Art C.U.R.E.S All is the brainchild of Heather Polk.

Heather is a healthcare sales and marketing professional with an active art practice that fills her nights and weekends. She resides in Chicago where she relocated from Atlanta over a decade ago. She is working toward establishing a small art studio that will support caregivers, enabling them to practice self-care and gain empowerment through creative expression. Her art practice is centered around collage and abstract painting.

Artist Statement:

“CURES” is an acronym for Creativity Unleashed Rewards Every Soul. I believe in the power of creative expression. Whether you are observing art, making art or working on some creative project, the stimulation to our senses from art and creativity usually lifts our spirits, tugs at our curiosity and brings us joy. I’m partial to the potency of people creating with their own hands. Creating with our own hands is part power and part vulnerability; it’s important to see the power in being vulnerable.

Please read the product insert below for additional information, (reads as if “creativity” is a drug):

Hypothesis: Art cures all. Creativity is an innate trait every person possesses, however millions of people, perhaps billions, regularly dismiss their talents or abilities because they are comparing their gifts to other people’s gifts/talents. This world has enough room for everyone’s creativity, if we would all explore and express ourselves.

Diagnosis: You are blessed with creativity, use it or lose it. Art can heal and possibly serve as your cure.

Warning: Creativity is contagious! There is an increased risk of seriously inspiring others, developing a following and being celebrated while you’re alive. (Honoring artists while they are alive is a real thing.)

Indications: Creativity is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of stress associated with day to day life. Creativity has induced clinical responses in pediatric and adult patients who have not had an adequate response to conventional therapy. Incorporating creativity within normal daily activities has proven positive emotional and physical outcomes.

Dosage & Administration: Creativity is expressed by a person’s willingness to explore their curiosity and seek alternative routes of healing. It should be carefully explored where there is pain, bruising and sensitivity. Creativity can be dosed up to 100 new ideas per day and there should be consideration for multiple mediums of creative expression.

Concomitant Therapies: Creativity may be used as mono therapy or concomitantly with healthy supplements and approved products.

Creativity Refills: Unlimited, inspiration is everywhere.

Side Effects: The most serious reactions reported have been: Happiness, joy, eustress, gratitude, uncontrollable smiling, excitement, peace, relaxed mood, sense of freedom, reversal of DIS-EASE, healing, increased feelings of love, faith & hope; and overall satisfaction despite life’s circumstances.

Mechanism of Action: As creativity is explored it neutralizes all negative energy and begins to bind to human DNA. Creativity triggers a natural anti-inflammatory cascade resulting in happy feelings and decreased inflammation at the molecular level. It is believed that creativity is an innate quality all humans possess, but very often humans dismiss their creativity as being insufficient or lacking.

Contraindications: NONE! Creativity can safely be combined with all aspects of life.

Overdosage: The maximum tolerated dose of creativity has not been established. Doses of up to a lifetimes worth of art have been created and amassed without dose-limiting toxicities. In cases of over-dosage, it is recommended that patients be monitored closely for any adverse reactions or effects, and appropriate symptomatic treatment initiated immediately.
