“Kellie Day gave me inspiration and encouragement and I am forever grateful… Not to be too sentimental but your workshop was the first time I really felt like an artist and the potential to do good work. Your encouragement started me on my path and I will never forget your generosity and kindness. Thank you.”- Heather
