#207: Mary Kay Thomas (Artist, Teacher, Art Therapist) (pt. 2 of 2)

 This week on the podcast is part two of our interview with Mary Kay Thomas. She's a self-employed artist, art teacher, and art therapist, and the founder of Rhythmic Art Studio. For decades Mary Kay has introduced and inspired children through the arts, and she has long been a proponent of helping her community. Most recently she has been spearheading the revitalization of East Cleveland by using that community as a canvas for public art. In addition to her art initiatives, she is a community engagement advisor for Zygote Press, one of the largest fine-art print shops in the Midwest. Since our interview, Mary Kay has been awarded grants totaling $40,000 from three different organizations!  We're confident you'll be inspired by Mary Kay's story!
