"I am excited to share my knowledge of the creative process to discover how making art can transform us and promote well-being. Join me to experience guided practice in a studio and tour the amazing museums and local artists studios to get inspiration to develop your craft. At the end of the three weeks, we will also curate our work in a show and reception in a gallery setting. This is an enriching opportunity that I am thankful to organize and participate in. I look forward to working with the amazing artists out there."
