I believe in art…..
I believe:
that art does not have to be
about competition
or worry
or getting it right
or making it look pretty.
I believe that art does not have to be
another stick
to measure ourselves
push ourselves
or whack ourselves with.
Instead…
I believe art
can be a gift
a tool for healing
a place of power
a splash of insight.
Art can be the path we take
to discover the delights inside us.
and most of all,
art can be
our gift to ourselves.
Make art that looks like you.
Make art that sings to your spirit.
Make art that is medicine.
Art can be that special thing in your life…..
All we need to do is claim it,
and make it.
I believe in you…..
-Lisbeth Ericson
