I have always had a creative interest. Throughout my adult life took many art workshops and classes. Through my work experience I designed and implemented children and youth artistic programs. Upon my retirement a friend who is a devoted artist and myself partnered to hold some art exhibits and art workshops for those adults desiring to to develop their creative side. Through these activities I see a development and healing amongst the participants attending. Some want to come to every workshop for the atmosphere comforts them. Hoping this certification will guide me to enhance their lives. Looking forward to learning more.
