Hi, I'm Clarissa!

I'm a law enforcement and Army veteran wife, a mother of three, and a former

elementary school music teacher. I am also currently an American expat, living in Abu Dhabi, UAE! I love my family and my faith. If you're passionate about the arts like I am, then you are in the right place. And as an advocate for mental health awareness, if you are struggling, know that you are not alone. I hope this blog can be a source of inspiration for you. Join me on the journey of healing through the arts, and together, we can find harmony.
