COMING IN APRIL Art Classes for Adults at the Ann & Chuck Dever Rec Cente
Learn Watercolors, Acrylics and More!
Location: Ann & Chuck Dever Regional Park Recreational Center
Janessa’s believes that creating art should be just as rewarding as the final product. While technique can be learned and practiced, any act of creative expression is good for the soul. Letting go of the learned habits of negative self-talk and relaxing into a childlike freedom of expression is rewarding and fun.
