"I was excited to work at the club in the art room with the teens," said Miss Maureen, an art instructor at the club. "I am taking this opportunity to show them that art can be displayed in many other areas other than paper or canvas. Art is seen in areas of landscape design, photography, interior design, crafting, tattoo artist, illustrator, fashion designer, author and so much more. In the teen art room, we explore all opportunities.
