Did my first acrylic painting today! I am so happy I found you Art Sherpa & family. I am going to have to stay busy during these times of uncertainty. I am currently a college student in the Addiction Counseling Program at Minneapolis College and all of our classes are online via Zoom now. I was very involved in Student Life and the Collegiate Recovery Program on our campus that supports college students in recovery and am saddened by the change of online learning only. I am grateful, however, for so many things. 
I will be using your video lessons to support my mental health, recovery from alcohol because it facilitates creative growth and healthy interests. A wonderful creative outlet and way to express my artistic side. Additionally, I can do these painting videos with friends, family and online with fellow students.
I am going to talk about you and this wonderful Art Sherpa life of painting next week in our weekly Addiction Counseling Club meeting via Zoom. We are all students in school to become licensed drug and alcohol counselors and many of us are in recovery ourselves. I posted my first painting on Facebook and so many fellow classmates have replied in interest of doing a video lesson painting themself. You have so many painting options- there is one for everyone. 
Thank you for this gift!
