"I'm really excited to offer painting classes this summer for both adults and kids," Parks and Rec Recreation Director Katie Squires said. "Marsha comes to us after many years teaching classes at A.C. Moore and other locations and has a great following. I've seen her work and love it. Paiting is such a fun, leisure activity that can be enjoyed by anyone, even those who don't think they have the artist talent can learn."
