Yes! Decluttering is so helpful for our mental health. Having space to breathe is vital.

Jo, this post could not have come at a better time for me! I am mentally and emotionally in a really good place with my art - I feel fulfilled creatively - but there's a heaviness around me nonetheless. I realised this morning that it is the clutter and messiness of our house right now that is overwhelming and weighing me down.

I'm going to read some of the articles you suggested. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience here.

I belong to a group on MeWe.com for painting with coffee, tea and other natural pigments. Thanks for the great tip about gesso!
