Art Vulnerability & Witnessing
What I love about expressive arts (ExA)is there is no judgment, you don’t look at the art to question the artist on what and why. Because we are all human and if we’ve never been trained in art, we can be very self-critical, doubt ourselves for no reason and lose confidence as we are building […]
What Sets You Apart from Others?
En Casa Art Advocacy Story… Advocacy doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and perseverance. It’s also a commitment and comes from building relationships.
