Help Children Become Artists

Jeffery is "just an average guy who enjoys art." He grew up in an abusive household and knows the kind of relief art can bring to a child that has been abused or watched abuse. "As a child I had no one to help me promote my emotions through art. This did not stop me from drawing my feelings on paper. I still today after 40 years paint and write."

"I teach a very free form art class in a project housing facility each week," says Emily. "It introduces art in all forms to kids that may otherwise not be exposed to it. It gives them an outlet to express themselves in a healthy, fun, and creative way. I've seen the children light up each week when it's time to be involved with the art. They gain confidence with each project."
