Van Gogh reflects on art
Van Gogh quote on Art
"All art is a gift. It is first of all a gift that the maker can do it. It is then a gift to someone else, whether they pay for it or not."
Van Gogh quote on Art
"Art is life seeking itself. It is our intractable expressions of love for the beauties, ideas and epiphanies we regularly find."

Art for wellbeing
Mixed Media
Draw, paint, spray, cut and paste images, and add stencils to create your own expressive masterpiece. Be bold. Be free. Have fun with a group of friends.
Mosaicking
Using tiles, broken pots, pebbles do a garden or indoor mosaic on a tile, pot or paver. Be brave and mend that broken pot with a group of friends. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle.
Acrylic & watercolor painting
Join others for more fun and relaxation
Try new effects and extend the art work by more experimentation.
