“My case manager brought “A Brush with Justice” to my attention because she knew that I was a creative person and it would help me with decompressing and getting out of the house. I figured I would try it out and the first class was a great introduction. Josh is an amazing teacher and artist who lets you know that it’s okay if your project doesn’t seem to make sense to you, that it will all come together and make sense, you just have to trust the process. He also reminded me that creating art isn’t supposed to make you feel tense or intimidated but it’s more about making you feel free and relaxed. The class has honestly exceeded any of my expectations. Art has become my breath of fresh air and my peace over these last few years. Whenever I am going through difficult situations it is always good for me to grab something to create with: my camera, a canvas and some paint, or even an old piece of furniture to refurbish. The more that I get lost in the art, the more relief and ease my mind and body start to feel. Art has really transformed my life and really helps me see and experience the world differently.”
