Doug Hiser NSA AFC HGA Fine Arts, Artist

“The turtle project was challenging and inspiring at the same time.  My students loved helping with the painting and planning and they felt such a big part of something bigger than just an art project.  The impact of including teen students on art projects creates a passion for art and for completing projects of their own.  We were proud to have contributed to the Turtle Project!”
