Community building is a big element of the artwork I enjoy participating in, and community building inspires me to create new works of art as a form of process art. The more people that can participate in the arts the better. I feel that to be an artist and to be an effective tool for positive change , there should be as many opportunities co-create as possible.. Having free creative arts and wellness activities make for a more hopeful and inclusive world. I feel art is not so much about the product ,but more-so about the process and what breathes
