Art for Everyone

I started with myself, Art has given me lots of fun times, as well as inner joy and peace. Sometimes its a struggle to ‘acheive’ what I want to achive but creativity teaches me patience.

I worked with an older woman who had never painted before. Together we created some lovely water colours, making things with my nieces and nephews is always a delight. Children love being creative, drawing, painting , playing with clay or cooking and adults enjoy it too !

“Children are naturally curious. From the minute they gain control of their limbs, they work to put themselves out into the world to see how it all works. They explore, observe and imitate, trying to figure out how things operate and how to control themselves and their environments. This unrestricted exploration helps children form connections in their brain, it helps them learn—and it’s also fun.”
