Through vivid colors and expressive lines, Shi Hardin's portfolio explores a wide range of addictions ranging from sugar, caffeine, and substance abuse. Their work offers a poignant reflection on the destructive power of dependency, also hinting at the possibility for healing.

Had an amazing time at the JCPS theatre conference! My students absolutely shined in their musical theatre and Shakespeare classes. They performed two scenes and received a standing ovulation! Proud theatre director moment! 🎭 #JCPS #pantherslead @JCPSKY @HudsonMiddleS
