From the first time I picked up a paintbrush, the world transformed before my eyes. Art has always been more than a hobby or a career for me—it’s been the lens through which I understand, celebrate, and connect with life itself. This journey through the visual and performing arts has shaped not only my work as an educator but also my identity as an artist, fueling a passion that continues to inspire me every day.
Quote by Pablo Picasso:
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up."
