Mabel D'Amico - An Invitation to Create
In this video, Mabel DAmico shares a little of her creative journey, drawing inspiration from nature, everyday objects, and the belief that art can be made from anything around us. She explains her process of found object art, using discarded materials to create meaningful pieces.
