The American Art Therapy Association defines candidates

for art therapy as “people who experience illness, trauma 

or challenges in living.” 

​

Doesn’t that include us all?

​

Ava Carmel takes her cue from the 20th Century French artist,

Jean Dubuffet, who claimed that anyone could create “art brut”,

which he defined as, “those works created from solitude and

from pure and authentic creative impulses.”
