From Graveyards to Growth: The Journey of Jennie Lobato and drawchange
Drawchange believes art can heal, connect, and transform. Our founder, Jennie Lobato, first discovered this truth as a teen using her paintbrush to process life’s challenges. What began as a personal journey through art has become a global mission: empowering children around the world to imagine, express, and heal through art therapy-based programming.
