Hillary created a youtube video:
This is what I wrote in reponse:
Firstly, let me say I am truly sorry for your two lost children. One of my wife's closest friends lost her first child at birth and for me it was probably one of the worst things I ever went through. As removed as I was from them, my pain was only a shadow of what you went through and still do. I will say a prayer for you tonight.
To get ready to go to your school board people and defend your arts class, might I suggest you talk with Ken Robinson about it? Email him and see if he has any suggestions as to how to approach the problem. He's very smart and well respected and it wouldn't hurt to contact him.
I like your observation on the reading about how spiritual it all is. That struck me too. I bet we can find similar ideas in religions all around the world. It seems like a universal quest to try to make sense out of the things life throws at us. I have enjoyed being your classmate this last year and I know you will be a worthy graduate!
One last thing about your art. Do it in secret. Try to paint something when nobody else is around. Don't tell anyone you did it and never, ever show it to anyone. Just give yourself permission.
Just a tip I have found to be helpful.
