So I don’t usually blog my personal thoughts, because who really wants to know, right? This is an ART blog. But this is school/art related so you might find it interesting.

Secretly all your teachers want you to come back to them and visit years later and tell them, “Hey you really inspired me and helped me, THANK YOU.”

Two students who graduated a while back came and visited today….to spread that joy. Thanks MH and MS. I really needed that. Love ya…mean it.
