What is "Building Creative Confidence?"

I offer a range of custom art experiences that are meant to give children and teens positive experiences with the visual arts. 

• Each workshop fosters the student's ability to make their own creative choices, and to feel good about themselves for making these choices.
• Artistic expression is a valuable tool for healthy emotional expression and group art workshops support positive social interactions.
• ​After creating their artwork, students will feel a sense of pride in their abilites to express themselves. Students are never expected to make "identical" or "perfect" artworks. They learn to appreciate their own style and way of creating.
