2014年經勞保局認定為國內首例發生「通訊軟體過勞死」案例，美國《今日心理學期刊》也指出「壓力荷爾蒙是社會的頭號敵人」，不但使得生活忙碌緊張，嚴重的情況更危害身心健康，導致精神疾病形成社會問題，這樣的壓力我們不得不重視。也因此辦公室小物吹起角色萌商機，許多生活家居用品也刮起療癒風，更有許多插畫家創作出療癒相關主題的繪畫，如馬克、爽爽貓、A-fu的插畫等。
本研究主題療癒系插畫，提供舒壓的一種藝術療癒，以馬斯洛的心理需求層次，生理需求、安全需求、愛與歸屬感、受人尊重、自我實現等五個心理需求為基準，延伸整理出內在需求的身心靈三大面向，作為療癒滿足的精神層面。創作主題以「小夫妻的藝術與生活」為主題，融入仿擬藝術家名畫的表現手法，發展出一系列滿足身心靈需求的療癒系插畫。
由本研究創作「微甜時光」展覽結果顯示，主要參觀對象能藉由觀賞插畫作品感受到不同的療癒程度，如壓力的舒緩、正面心情的轉換，而產生愉快的能量。達到馬斯洛心理需求層次中，愛與歸屬需求層次的滿足，以及身心面向的療癒。並表示喜歡名畫仿擬創作手法的視覺融入。希望能將本研究創作療癒系插畫的正向價值，發揮於社會上解除人們內心的壓力特別是上班族，幫助慰藉受創心靈，並提供作為後續研究之參考依據。
