Why do I feel that art is so important in a young person's life?
As a mother of an 7-year-old boy I know the joy, and the worries, that come with being a parent.
And it's pretty simple, we all hope for one thing:
We all want our kids to have a better life than we did. So after reading about the recent cuts in funding for education in Arizona, I decided I couldn't sit on the sidelines anymore.
As an artist who spent her childhood in Central Phoenix, I have personally experienced the power of art to keep a young person out of trouble and give them direction in life.
So this is my open letter about why I started "Art Supplies 4 September"
