Artful Happiness
Be happy that you are not in Jail
If you are in jail, be happy that you are not in Solitary
If you are in solitary, be happy that you are not Dead
If you are dead, be happy that you are not in Hell
If you are in hell, be happy that it feels like Summertime
-Dr. K

Today some of these artists are hailed as pioneers and the art has crossed over to high fashion. Here are the ways graffiti has inadvertently projected itself onto science.
Pitta, Vata and Kapha stay in to watch movies that serve their doshic needs and escape the unbearable heat.
Frank Stella said “I don’t like to say I have given my life to art. I prefer to say art has given me may life.”
Any message must be moving enough to penetrate the viewer. Resonating with them to make a lasting impact that either causes them to take action or think before they do. Science does not effectively do that.

Get Styled according to your gut-brain axis (GBA). Dosha Dressing goes beyond simply choosing the right shoes and sweaters. Food and emotions are as critical as color and texture. Dr. Kuver created this neurobiology-based practice as a supplement for your overall wellbeing.
