TESTIMONIALS
"Ms. DeCaria has displayed commitment to both the mission and values of the agency in addition to the people she works with. Without her hard work and determination, the development of [The Art Market] would not have occurred and grown in the short time frame that she was able to make it come about...Her talents and skills will be an asset to any organization who is fortunate enough to work with her.”

"The Creative Citizen Studios classes have induced my son to work with different mediums. He is used to working only with markers, but he has started using paints at home and has been inspired to try new things even outside of the classroom -- and that is huge for him. Being around the other artists provides opportunities for social interactions around something he loves, and exhibiting his work for the first time brought him into contact with a larger community of people who are also interested in art. The classes have been beneficial to him in so many ways and Kirsten, with her background in special ed, brings out the best in the artists both artistically and socially."
