The reason art is such a respite is it returns us to the state of innocence, which is characterized by honesty, playfulness and wonder. One feels all three when creating art, or enjoying it, and while that is happening, the opposing characteristics of corruption -- sham, drudgery and fear -- cannot gain a foothold.

Best of luck to you!
