This gallery will contain works of young artists ages 4-14. Having been a teacher for so many years, I still have a passion for working with children and adults in helping them express themselves through drawing and painting. The artists work from actual still lifes , personal photos , verbal discussions of concepts and ideas and when possible, outside in the open air for natural inspiration. Enjoy the many wonderful works of these young artists. They make me smile and perhaps you too!
