As the Art Director, I’ve had the opportunity to instill in youth and young adults an attitude that they can accomplish what they will with teamwork, discipline and self respect. I have been able to witness how art can change people and give them hope.

Lastly, as an artist, I have had the opportunity to work with some very creative and caring individuals; individuals who believe that bringing art to the community is critical to development of youth and the community as a whole. We all have this notion that art and life are the same and managing one affects the other in very positive ways.
