Karen Blessen is the founder and president of an amazing non-profit organization, 29 Pieces. I attended a talk she gave at school entitled, "Promoting Peace Through Art", and I was so inspired by the work that she is doing. This organization uses the act of creating artwork as a medium through which people can come to truly understand the importance of being kinder, more peaceful individuals. She, along with the artists and volunteers who work with her, also conduct MasterPeace classes for various students and children in the Dallas area.
