Dianna Waters
“Art is healing” Art gives us the opportunity to be truthful, honest and transparent, without judgement or qualification. It is true expression of who we are at that point and time. It allows us to move forward and look back simultaneously. By healing ourselves, art allows us to heal all – so I create because I love to make something that may make a difference in someone’s life.
