Stories are waiting to be told, uplifting thoughts are waiting to be said, art is waiting to be expressed. What an honor it is to be a creative and partner with God to create beautiful things and even more so to teach and inspire others to discover all the wonderful creativity inside of them! This is my gift and it’s my joy to share it and bring out the gifts in others!” See other instructors here.
