Through self-expression my students have discovered the value and deeper meaning of art, music, and writing and how creativity can be utilized to enhance their wellness. There is power in words, images, colors and sounds, and these forms of expression embodies our ideas, stories, thoughts, visions and emotions.

Story Behind BE Studios Logo
BE Studios's logo is art work from a book project Phyllis is working on, entitled, "Under a Blu-lit Sky." It's a story about a flower that stopped growing and blossoming. It was asleep, so unhappy and withering away each season. But one day it meets a beautiful flower that awakens the unhappy flower and encourages the unhappy flower to cultivate its seeds from within. In time the withering flower begins to blossom again into a beautiful colorful vibrant flower.
