It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to make some art. So when I learned about Itty Bitty Mini Mart in Hermosa and its workshops for adults of all skill levels, I knew I’d find a creative outlet in its classes. I love art and have been creating since I was a kid. Before turning to writing, it was my No. 1 way of expressing myself. When I was in high school, I took a college-level 3D art class where I got to focus on sculptures made of clay, paper, cardboard, organic material and more.

I'm proud of the reporting I did for this one. Kouklas Greek Eatery —named with the help of chef Jimmy Bannos Jr's daughters—is more than a restaurant. It's about Greek family and tradition. https://t.co/eR6DDdPcG1
