Tell us a little bit about your journey as an artist.

I’ve grown at One River as an artist. Getting out of my comfort zone and doing things that I wouldn’t be doing on my own.

Which has been your favorite project to work on at One River and why?

My favorite project was one where I had to edit an existing painting and add my own spin on it. I enjoyed it because I got to add texture and learn different adjustment features.

Describe One River in 3 words and tell us why:

Interesting, fun, and creative because that’s the experience that you get when you’re here.

What would you tell people who’ve never dabbled in art making are the real benefits to trying it?

You should just start it and have fun while you’re doing it. It’s more fun when you’re exploring it, it makes you feel better and you learn about yourself.

Would you like to share anything else about your experience at One River?

It’s been fun!
