“All art requires courage.” Anne Tucker

The seasons are changing again as we can see things shifting into colder weather, and with that, brings us the joy of learning how to create new projects, sharing with loved ones, and making exciting plans for the upcoming holidays.  This is the time of year that I take the time to make art for gifts. I just love sharing my art with others, and this is a great way to do just that.

You’re Not Too Late to Join an Art Class at WCC!

Children’s Fall Art Classes Continue Through December…

We’re keeping up with the fun via BAAY EduArts for the after school arts enrichment programs, while I’m also a guest art teacher at The Firs, and teaching art with the amazing Allied Arts of Whatcom County for art in various elementary schools.  So many of the kids are sharing their interests in; art, creativity, and ways to be themselves in our enrichment programs. If you’re interested in learning more about the BAAY EduArts program for kids art classes, (winter classes begin shortly after the holidays in January), or want to see if your school participates, feel free to contact (you can also ask your school to see if they participate), http://www.baay.org/

Thank you for all your enthusiasm for The Arts and keeping it alive within our community!
