I grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a pencil in the other, and I own more art supplies than A.C.Moore. In high school, I have chosen studio art as my elective every year, and I have had four projects selected for Spring-Ford’s annual art show. In one of my favorite pieces, I incorporated music by drawing hands playing a piano in white charcoal on black paper. Then after attending several mission trips throughout high school, I discovered another passion of mine. I realized I like helping others. Five mission trips truly opened my eyes to the needs of others. I had such a warm feeling inside when a little old widower hugged me after we repainted her house. I searched for ways I could combine these two passions and discovered art therapy.
