🎨 What an amazing day of giving back and sharing the joy of artistry! I was honored to be invited to participate in the 2026 Child & Youth Services Conference and spend time creating with such a wonderful group of teachers.
We explored how creativity can happen with the materials all around us and how art can be joyful, expressive, and therapeutic. Sometimes we’re expected to stay inside the box, but there’s so much beauty in thinking beyond it and discovering what we can create in our own way.
It meant so much to share my love of abstract art and encourage others to keep creating, exploring, and embracing the possibilities around them. A special thank you to Deborah Nichols and Linda Smith for trusting me to share my artistry, and to CYS for inviting me to be part of such a meaningful day!
