Culture Inc. has been blessed with the presence of local artists who lend their talents through workshops, classes and mentoring. A special gift from one of them was the writing of a song that captures the essence of Culture Inc.
Colors of My Heart by Tina Haase-Findlay
“Paint a picture, do a tango, write a song
Make a masterpiece so beautiful and strong
This is more than decoration; it’s the story of my life
Full of magic and it’s mine, all mine…
…The creation of all I want to be
And all I want to do
No matter what happened before
I know that there is so much more
My life is a work of art
See the colors of my heart.”
