When I wrote this poem earlier this week, I had no idea just how much it would mean to me by today. Yesterday morning my Grandma passed away, but as the tears fall I know she is truly at peace. Through the grief, the same peace sits quietly inside of my heart. While I miss her, the love she gave me and the memories I have of her will always be part of me.
This is for you, Grandma. I can already feel you watching from above. I love you. xoxo

After a little hiatus, here are few more pieces of student-created artwork. They are full of beautiful and bold colors! I hope they brighten everyone’s day.
I love how this student played with the peace sign. It’s both whimsical and deeply hopeful that we will all one day board that bus.
The eyes in this piece are so intense. I often wonder where her inspiration came from to create such an insightful work of art.
I put this piece on the wall almost every year. I love the energy that pops off the page and how she includes her love of music.
