THIS Is simple and pure and IT. ..”A child makes art solely for himself. He makes art to say something about his interpretation of the world and he shares it freely as a gift. He tracks no metrics and he doesn’t ask his audience what they want. He is an artist, not a creator but an artist in the truest sense. A child is a real artist and I hope you are too.”

You gave everyone a deep breath with this short burst . On the climb up the steep trail of accepting myself as an artist, that reminder is a relief, a welcomed directional marker , an extra tank of oxygen. Thanks

Art as music are both the universal language, where there is no right or wrong.

Emotional freedom of expression will lead to emotional wisdom . When coming to the U.S. as a young girl, I did not speak the English language. I learned self-expression & communication while exploring creativity & Art, and I never stopped creating with Art, which also lead to writing my first book called “ Facing Thoughts”. Self expression is soothing to my internal soul. I then continued into the Psychology of Art and the Art of Psychology as my professional goals.
