“I believe that art education is essential because it provides students with a unique opportunity to think critically, and express themselves creatively. As humans we are born to create, and crave creative experiences. Art fulfills a child’s need to create, and I feel blessed to have a job that allows me to facilitate these experiences. Art is fun, freeing, and joyful, and it is one of the greatest blessings of my life to share it with others!”
