There is nothing quite as thrilling as facilitating the artistic expression in a youth who was previously unaware of their gift.  Certain students stand out in my mind- like Derek and Steph from the Custody Centre.  (see: CUSTODY ART) My current student, Jordan, discovered his talent for painting only last week.  He is fearless and enthralled.  What an amazing outlet for him!!!  At present his expression is raw and untamed and INSPIRING!  Where will this take him?
