I make art videos because I believe that there is a fountain of joy, self-acceptance and childlike innocence inside every person, regardless of their age or skill level. When we engage in playful art-making activities, we can connect with this inner fountain of joy and innocence. The results are very healing and therapeutic. Art is therapy!
