Art Works in Layers
Art making is an ancient and powerful method of self-expression. Art helps us creates meaning and helps integrate disparate parts of life. Art can build cohesion, adaptability and often provides a space for healing: individuals, families and communities. Art often leads to problem solving, increasing understanding and intelligence. Art brings people together using simple art supplies; everyone can create something either individually or collectively. Toler has received art instruction by Morgan Samuel Price, John Geldersma, Michael Del Priori, Billie Bourgeois, Anne Bigger and others. You don’t have to make art alone.
