creative weekend testimonials

This weekend at MLA Creative weekend has been life changing.  I went from a mom who has never painted anything other than in elementary school to a painter.  I painted some beautiful paintings!

I live a very small, quiet life as a stay at home wife and mom, on the countryside in Ontario, Canada. I’ve only flown once in my life and that was 25 years ago. Every aspect of this trip was daunting (4 flights, renting a car, travelling alone) but I just had this knowing in my heart, a pull to come.
