About us
Our story Inkfluence of Art is an all-inclusive therapeutic art community. This means that no matter your age or skill-level, we are here to help you access a deeper understanding of yourself by working through your emotions in a creative way.
Our products are colorful, creative, and inspired by what we see everyday, each product represents what we love as well as our struggles about the world we live in. We hope they’ll inspire you too. We are not just an online art shop, we are also a community of individuals that seek better cooping mechanisms for our mental health and related traumas.
Our approach is through a specialized therapeutic art technique called art rescue, created by our certified therapeutic art counselor. Art Rescue is more about finding what makes each person feel good then it is about trying to find a textbook answer for each situation.
