While education is widely celebrated for its value and promise, the belief may not always be matched by the support needed to sustain it. Like a carousel, many come to experience its possibilities and then move on, while educators remain, finding ways to keep it turning despite diminishing resources and growing challenges. This painting is an expression of gratitude to those who educated and inspired many, and those who continue to give their knowledge, care, and passion to education because they believe deeply in its worth.
