Art makes me happy and calm.
Taylor TOZPAS Artist

Yeah, yeah, colour green green. Yeah, art. I’m fine, happy. Green, white, ah, green. Green, white, green. Yes, art.
Arron TOZPAS Artist

Making art feels better. I can feel it in my heart. I want to tell you something. In the studio, doing what I’m doing, you stop thinking about all your friends, just think about what you’re doing. I feel happy now. My mood changed, my mood’s happy! You’re calm. Your mind is like ‘Are you mad? Not really!’. You feel it calm down. You’re back to happy now. Mood, happy. Just like that.
Anna TOZPAS Artist

My art means that my mom and dad are in the picture. I like art because I like drawing pictures. I like that Shya is in the picture because she likes going for walks and eating bones.
Fauve TOZPAS Artist

It is more fun, relaxing and entertaining. I like to do as many drawings as I can and painting, but mostly drawing. I can feel where I am drawing, and the sound of the pen, it sounds like people chopping wood.
