About Me

I believe Art is a way of communicating ideas, emotions, and thoughts that would be difficult to express in other ways. Through the course of my artistic pursuits, I have gained an understanding of how art can affect even the most inexperienced artist in a positive and everlasting way. According to Barnes-Smith in expressive arts as a means of increasing well-being in children, "[Art] provides the opportunity for individuals to explore their emotions and inner selves in order to deal with stress, explore issues, and improve self-esteem through healthy and creative modes" (Barnes-Smith et al., 2015, p. 5). I believe this as I have experienced it in my own life. One of my goals is to share this knowledge and to help others experience the powerful healing attributes of art in all its forms.
