About Us

We are educators, visual artists, designers, writers, scholars, and activists focused on learning to serve everyone who is interested in creative growth. In why i write, why i create, one generation teaches the next how to have courage to deliver truths through art. We feel that we are as strong as the link among teaching moments across generations.
