It has been a while since I posted my last blog because I took a mental health week. Yesterday was the last of two anniversaries of domestic violence incidences that triggered me. I almost did not post this blog. As I was dealing with all those raw emotions I would try to sit in front

Mary gives great instruction and encourages students to practice self-expression through their own unique style. I absolutely love how this displays the genuine creativity
