Some Thoughts from Emily Parker:

“Ever see the moment when art can ease the worried mind and calm a person? Yes, I’ve! I witnessed the magic of art. Then I truly believed in the power of art therapy. That’s also the main reason I write and encourage people to enjoy coloring deeply, feeling it as a means to reflect their emotions. Art in general and coloring in particular are a special language. At ColoringPagesJourney, we’re confident that making it something quite clear and accessible for everyone.”
