“If you can imagine it. You can make it! You can change the world!”

Alicia Guckenheimer

At Art the Ms. A, I aim to create a sacred place to work and play. We are a safe nurturing non- judgmental environment, where people can express themselves, through artistic freedom and relaxation of authentic self-expression as they contribute to the world around them. My goal is to teach compassion for all living things through art. Each day we will explore different mediums and subject matters that inspire one to create and explore.

This four-week course is one hour long once a week. Each class we will talk about artists who are making art and how we can be inspired every day by seeing things around us. Instruction will follow and then it is time to explore and create !

Please enjoy Art with Ms. A
