Art provides a way of knowing that is different than words, can give access to that which is not accessible with verbal analysis.

Art is a way of knowing, problem solving, healing and transformation that we marginalize if we do not embrace it as a vehicle of research. There is a striking disconnect when people and professions understanding the unique resources of the arts in addressing problems and issues inaccessible to verbal analysis nevertheless persist in the use of the latter as an exclusive foundation of research.
