"I have found that using various art forms has enabled me to experience myself and my history differently and engage at a deeper level with my own process. What I experienced at IATE is inspirational teaching so that I could digest and expand on my previous training and experience. Having experienced the arts and the training offered at IATE I feel hungry in my soul to learn more."
