MISSION:

To encourage your

Karen's mission is to encourage communities, high schools and colleges to provide classes in Graffiti and Tattoo Design as FINE ART.

Youth is entitled to express themselves artistically as they create the graffiti and tattoo art that they love so much.
It is so important that we support them for Graffiti and Tattoo Design is the NEW FINE ART of the 21st century.

Being most of the art, music, dance, and drama has been taken out of the public schools ... let's invite youth to go to school and come to college to create their favorite styles of art ... as FINE ART ... LEGALLY.
