As the spring air buzzes with creativity in Canton's art districts, I've found myself at the epicenter, teaching a fusion of Procreate and augmented reality art at the Canton Museum of Art. My students are not just learning; they're innovators, transforming traditional canvases with digital vibrancy, inspired by the mesmerizing augmented reality exhibit by Ginny Ruffner. 

With workshops sprouting up for eager learners of all ages, we're exploring the frontiers of digital animation. Amidst this whirlwind of artistic expression, I've been chiseling away at my 100-day project and pouring my heart into a dream: a community-centric shop. This haven for artists will not only celebrate local talent but also become a gathering place for art parties and more. 

Launching my Kickstarter campaign has been a leap of faith, buoyed by the overwhelming encouragement from supporters like you. And let's not forget the inaugural meet-up of Urban Sketchers of Canton, Ohio, where our collective passion for art met purpose, supporting the noble work of a local no-kill shelter with our sketches and donations.

Turning the page to welcome the refreshing promise of May, I'm reminded of time's fleeting nature and the importance of seizing those moments of creativity that bring joy. While my own brushes eagerly await their dance across the canvas, I invite you to carve out your own artistic escapades in the coming days. As I close this chapter and look forward to the next, a heartfelt thank you echoes for your unwavering support and the shared belief in the unique radiance each of us holds. So, here's to the stories, lessons, and laughter that await us in future heart-to-hearts. Keep shining bright and stay tuned for our next creative journey together.
