The Peaceful Brain Art Book

Discover the joy of creating without pressure, perfection or needing to be "good" at art.

Whether you're looking for a mindful creative practice, feeling overwhelmed by everyday life, navigating anxiety, experiencing creative block or simply wanting to rediscover the joy of creating, The Peaceful Brain Art Book is a calming collection of 55 simple, beginner-friendly art exercises designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your creativity and make art without pressure or perfection.

Created by Demi Dawkins, an artist with autism and ADHD, each activity offers a gentle way to express yourself and find moments of calm, from releasing anxious thoughts through color mapping, to exploring uncertainty with non-dominant hand drawing, and cultivating hope and joy with gratitude spirals and affirmation posters.

The book is especially supportive for people with ADHD, autism and other forms of neurodivergence, with sensory-considerate activities designed to reduce overwhelm and make creativity feel accessible for every kind of mind.
