Meet Erica Gibbs

Erica Gibbs was born Trinidad and Tobago and has lived in Puerto Rico, Pennsylvania and Brooklyn. As an adult, she went back to PA and worked in a hospital for 17 years as in a variety of technician positions. She came to Ohio to take care of her mother, who was very ill. While coping with the pain of Fibromyalgia and depression, her therapy in the hospital included our teacher Sharen’s art class. After 6 weeks of enjoying art class, her therapy was ending and so were the art classes. Sharen encouraged her to continue her art at We Care Arts. She finds the creative atmosphere helps her to focus and relax. She enjoys all types of art projects at We Care Arts. She enjoys the friendships and social interaction with the other people here, whom she considers part of one big We Care Arts family.
