One of My Favorite Topics

I can talk about art-making for hours. I’ve been blogging about it for 10 years and have so much more to unpack. But in this video I describe in two minutes why art-making is critical to me — and to you, too. 😘

Spoiler: It’s not about making pretty things.

Click on the image above or here to watch the short video. It’s an updated intro for my not-so-new YouTube channel: All Hands Art. Continue browsing after those 120 seconds if you’re in the mood to hone your mosaic skills, practice doodling, get some painting tips, or tour a few mural projects.

People send me photos of the mosaic murals they’ve made in their backyards after watching a series of my videos. I love it! 🙌🏽 That is the whole point: To MAKE art, rather than talking about someday making art.

The healing is in the doing.

What about you?

After you watch, I’d love to hear your response. Does what I said make sense? What do you want to hear more about, or see videos of?

What is the point of art-making for you? What gets in your way?

Thanks for being here. I appreciate this virtual community of artists, art supporters, and becoming-artists. All are welcome. Where there is interest, there is capacity.

P.S. I anticipate “returning” from my sabbatical in the fall. Meanwhile, my shop is still open and ready to supply you with doodle books, art-making kits, greeting cards, and more. Thanks for taking a look and supporting my work!
