Art Teacher

Looking over my students' art portfolios and the photographic and the video footage I've shot in the last 16 years it occurs to me there exists a trove of information that shows how participation in the Art and Writing Workshop can be a major contributing factor in people starting to believe in themselves. ---Rachael Romero
