Are you nosy? I am. This guest is upbeat and funny and thought provoking. If you're interested in what makes other people tick, as well as what art in all its forms means to them, I'm sure you'll enjoy listening.

(No trigger warnings for this episode unless you experience particular difficulty with bad puns).

Welcome to Art Is Good For You! It's my new podcast spreading the message that making and experiencing art helps with healing and happiness, no matter who you are.

I'm Rachel Duffield, an inspirational art teacher and art life coach and the founder of Community Art Clubs CIC. It's my belief that even if art isn't up front and centre in your life, it can still have a big impact, sometimes in unexpected ways! So I'm inviting people from all walks of life - some arty, some not - to chat with me about the three pieces of art in their life that have turned out to me memorable, special or even life-saving.

My second guest is actor, singer, writer and massage therapist Gill Dean, best known for playing Isobel Reilley in ITV's drama Home Fires. Never one to let a little thing like being blind get in her way, Gill talks openly and fascinatingly about her relationship with art and The Arts.
