The reason I decided to kickstart this Fine Arts Academy goes back to a pretty personal experience from my own childhood. Learning music back then was like a magical journey for me. It kept me engaged, inspired, and most importantly, away from any trouble the streets could've brought.

​

I look back at those years, and I realize just how much it meant to me. It wasn't just about music; it was about finding my passion, my purpose, and a sense of belonging. That's something I want to share with the kids in our community. Every child should get the chance to discover their creative side, to experience the joy of expressing themselves, and to be part of a supportive artistic community.

​

Our town is a goldmine of untapped talent. Seriously, there's so much potential here, and I believe we have a responsibility to nurture it. By helping these young artists grow and follow their dreams, we're not just changing their lives; we're adding a burst of creativity and culture to our whole community.

​

And let's not forget about the learning experience itself. I want this place to be the opposite of boring lessons. Learning should be fun, exciting, and something you actually look forward to. So, I'm all about creating an environment where students can experiment, collaborate, and explore their creativity together.

​

In a nutshell, my WHY for starting this Fine Arts Academy is pretty

simple. It comes from my own journey, my belief in our community's

potential, and my passion for making learning a blast. By spreading

the love for the arts, we're giving the next generation the tools to

lead fulfilling lives, adding a splash of culture to our town, and, in

the long run, making life better for everyone.
