What I've discovered and witnessed...Movement opens us to new opportunities and experiences, brings elation, sparks creativity, encourages connection, keeps us in tune with nature and one another, calms the nervous system, brings the body and mind into balance. Movement is HEALING. Click here to find out more about Maria
LaTrecia Raffety, Artist/Educator. From my clothing to my doodles to my journals to my work, it defines me. The materials and the types of art I have made from childhood into maturity reflect the experiences and moods that have shaped who I am. Having now reached “older woman” status, my art has continued to celebrate the sheer joy of expressing myself with a pencil, marker, sewing machine, or paint.
