Unlocking a child's creativity is pure MAGIC!
As an artist, a teacher, a mentor and a friend; my mission in life has always been to help guide young (and older!) minds to reach their unseen creative potential.
There are just so many advantages and benefits with art education, it is a wonder (and a shame) why it has been so downplayed. Without art, life wouldn't be as grand. We wouldn't be able to notice colors and textures or moments. We wouldn't have the many inventions and creations that came directly from the Creative Soul. So much in Life, as we know it, would have nothing, if Art wasn't alive.
