the importance of art: |
I
love artmaking, and I love that moment when I'm working
with folks and they have a creative breakthrough and
their eyes just light up! I believe making art, or
being creative in some way, is an important thing for
everyone to participate in, young and old. It helps
us look at the world in different ways, exercise the
part of our brain that explores options, and it connects
us to the deep intuitive part of ourselves.
