Featured Artist: Mabel

Mabel is 6 years old and has been making art with her art therapist on Tuesdays for several weeks. Mabel is a super focused artist, she quickly decides what she wants to paint or draw, and knows what colors she is going to use. She enjoys learning new artistic skills like collage, but will always go back to painting and drawing as her most preferred projects. This interview with Mabel was first audio recorded then transcribed.
