De-stress, unwind, and enjoy the almost-magical calm that comes from painting with watercolors. We will be honoring Women's History Month throughout March by paying tribute to different artists!
This week's art will be inspired by impressionist painter Mary Cassatt.
This is not an art class -- it's a chance to be creative and relax while enjoying each other's company in an encouraging environment.
See the colors flow from your imagination to the paper and let your worries drift away for a while.

In partnership with Creative Mental Wellness, DAISY’s Deep Reads is an in-person book club where mental health meets the magic of books. Each month, we’ll explore a new book that dives into topics like mental wellness, behavioral health, trauma, resilience, or substance use.
This isn’t just about reading—it’s about reflecting, connecting, and healing within our community. Whether it’s a memoir, insightful guide, or narrative nonfiction, each selection is carefully chosen to spark thoughtful conversation and inspire personal growth.
