Hobbies
I am graduating from The School of the Art Institute this coming July, I am taking my last class this summer!!! I am really excited about being out of school finally and in the real world! I am very interested in teaching people all the skills I have come to master over the years! These things are getting lost as we evolve along with technology and I believe passionately that these are all things that we should know and pass on to our loved ones! I am also a strong believer in art as a healing process! Art saved my life...knitting helped heal my wounds when nothing was helping. I make to mend and I feel like this is a skill everyone needs in life! That is why I am in love with the Committed Knitters program, because it helps keep the women out of jail and in a better state of mind!!!
