Building Stronger People
Through the Arts
My work as an artist and gallery director for a non-profit arts education organization/community arts center has given me a valuable understanding of the true impact of the arts on us as individuals and their ability to help us build strong community. Art connects us. It connects us to ourselves, to our world, and to each other. The importance of each person's role in the arts is easily demonstrable and an incredible tool in teaching people that they are important, that their thoughts and experiences matter. I am so proud to lend my skills and understanding to the people in my communities.
