Artist: KC
I first began the WorkFirst program in May 2013. I’ve always loved art and enjoyed drawing throughout my life, so giving ArtSpace a try was a no-brainer.
As I mentioned, I’ve always loved to draw, but never really tried my hand at painting. So that’s another reason why I started. To me, ArtSpace is really important. I think it’s therapeutic and provides a calming environment and it draws people in. Art is extremely beneficial. It gives a person the chance to be creative and expressive. It helps relieve stress and gives you the chance to be in your own world for just a little while. Being at HomeFront, although a helpful place, can be stressful. You’re put into an environment with people you don’t know. Most have children so there’s a big concern as to how well they adjust to their new but temporary environment. Once you walk into ArtSpace, there’s a whole different vibe in there. It’s relaxing and you can just paint away. I ended up having to stay at HomeFront in 2012 due to an abusive relationship, and art has helped tremendously with me in coping with my past. Not only do I paint and draw in ArtSpace, but I’ve also taken the time to start back at home. My kids join in and we love to sit around on a Saturday night to draw away.
