Share Reeves is an icon in the local art scene and has been ever since he was a young boy growing up in Winter Garden.

Rooms are filled with paintings, sketches and mirrors in ornate frames; stained-glass windows and Tiffany-inspired lighting; a wide section of tapestry from an old coat of arms; intricately designed Asian divider panels; silver candlestick holders; and clocks of varying sizes and styles.

As one of the key leaders, Kent County Circuit Court judge Kathleen Feeney believes the partnership’s approach to keeping students in school has become more actively trauma-informed in the last 10 years, resulting from more conversations about students’ lives outside of school.
