"At Van Go Arts, we believe art is an essential form of self-expression that should be accessible to everyone, regardless of physical or mental ability, or life situation. Our mission is to provide a supportive, inclusive environment where all artists can create freely and authentically."

"I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact art can have on one's life, both through my own experiences and by seeing others embrace it. Art is all around us and woven into everything we do. I've seen the magic of self-expression work wonders, particularly with my nephew, Josiah, who has Down Syndrome. From a young age, art became his way of communicating before he could speak, and it played a crucial role in helping him develop a strong sense of self.

Creating art in any form naturally brings healing, comfort, self-expression, and confidence. I know I was meant to share the joy of art and encourage others to express themselves creatively, which is why I founded Van Go Arts. I can't wait to create with you!"
