Message From Erika (Art Teacher)
I grew up in a family of artists, where drawing was not just a passion but a way of life passed down through generations. Creating art was a natural part of my daily life. But at some point, as I became deeply immersed in raising my children, I gradually drifted away from it.
Now, I watch my daughters head to her workspace every morning, eager to create. As I began supporting her—gathering tools, searching for materials, answering questions—I found myself drawn back into the world of art. Gradually, this small circle grew to include her friends, their children, and eventually, many others. Today, I help a wide range of children explore and express themselves through art.
Their eyes light up with the beauty they create. Their hearts grow full. And every day, they delight in the joy of being completely absorbed in something meaningful.
In this retreat, I hope to share these “seeds of joy” through art—to create a gentle, nurturing space where we can cultivate the hearts that carry joy.
