“Before children speak, they sing. Before they write, they paint. As soon as they stand. They dance. Art is the basis of all human expression.” -Phylicia Rashad
“The creative process must be explored as representing the highest degree of emotional health, as the expression of the normal people in the act of actualizing themselves.” -Rollo May
The courage to create is not just about creating a work of art. It’s about finding courage within us to create our best selves. Through art making, I’ve learned to face myself and the mistakes I’ve made and to view them with compassion and know that I am a work in progress. I approach the work with creativity and try to meet each person where they’re at in their process.
