'Healing,' ' Papa would tell me, 'is not a science,  but the intuitive art of wooing nature."    W. H. Auden

Creating/viewing art (as well as spending time in nature and giving) have been proven to be beneficial to an individual's overall well-being and conducive to healing. David Turner found solace, a sense of identity, community, and purpose and expression for his deepest feelings in art. and music. 

This year, beautiful artists of all ages from many places have shared of themselves and of their gifts and talents with Big Dave. Now, on his website, they share them with the world.
