Combining her years of experience in helping and training people with her lifelong passion for art\, she has found an enjoyable and effective way of navigating our feelings when losing a loved one.

She loves to be a guide and an inspiration to others. \nAbout the Presenting Organization \nFounded in 1977 by Doris Leeper\, an internationally known sculptor and painter\, as well as a visionary environmentalist\, Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA) is a non-profit multidisciplinary artist residency facility located in New Smyrna Beach\, Florida.
