Click the video to hear Maria's quick story about art and imagination...

For half of her life, Maria has attended After School Art Programs and Arts by the Sea Summer Camp at The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center. This summer, Maria joined 43 teen artists and adult volunteers to collaborate on the Teen Mural project. This year's theme "Imagine" offered a unique art experience, provided free of charge to local teens.
