As you become immersed into the magic of your own free-flowing artistic expression, you quickly realize, this is not just an art class, but a path of knowing yourself on a deeper level.
I always say to my students, "I'm only here to teach you how to see and give you tools to express yourself in a more diverse way. Everything you need is already within you,"
Come along for the journey with self.
Peace Love and Blessings
