Finding Alice is based on creator/writer Debra Hopkins’ experience as a young girl with a disoriented sense of visual perception, commonly referred to as, The Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.
“AT ITS BEST, ART IS LIKE AN UNEXPECTED MESSENGER THAT HELPS US LOOK AT OUR LIFE AND OUR EXPERIENCES IN DIFFERENT WAYS.”
– GALINSKY
“Art can be very healing, it’s such a beautifully shared process not only by those who create, but for those who experience it which makes it timeless and limitless. I always believed that art can take on a shape all of its own, sometimes we can control and other times we cannot. It’s a fascinating process no matter its form. Art can be breathtaking, meditative, and filled with the darkest emotions as well as the happiest of emotions all at once or not. It’s therapy for so many and transcends all space and time.Artists are some of the most passionate and emotional individuals I have ever known. They are intuitive, bold, exciting, brave, shy, and empathic. Channeling healing and wellbeing through art is magical and inspiring. Artists are curious, so they dive into emotion even though they may not be ready for the outcome. The process can be quite immersive, impactful, and sometimes scary. It also has the propensity to aid in emotional regulation as one learns to hope and receive a variety of the healing benefits. It can transport people into a different state of mind – we can sit still as creators too as there is such a deep appreciation and relaxation that takes place when doing so. Art is energy! BTCF uses the power of art and expression to foster creativity, build connections, and create a community in which individuals can thrive.”
