About the Instructor:

Artist/Instructor Miriam Hughes works every day to bring creativity alive in as many people as possible through teaching, sharing and selling her work.

Miriam, artist, sketcher and a generally good-humored person, will guide you on this journey to discover the power of creative energy. Miriam works in pastels, watercolors and fibers and she finds sketching almost daily to be more fun than eating ice cream, sleeping or doing real work.

What is NAMIWalks Your Way?

On May 30, NAMIWalks will be a virtual experience and joined by NAMIWalks across the country. NAMIWalks Your Way means what it sounds like: participants get to make NAMIWalks their own. You can walk a 5K—through your neighborhood, around your backyard, on your treadmill. Or you can do something else meaningful and fun to celebrate our virtual walk day.

What participants are doing on May 30:

• Walking 3,500 steps for a 5K their way

• Planning a craft day with their kids

• Holding a virtual bake-off with their team

• Practicing self-care with a favorite hobby: yoga, gardening, knitting

• Doing a 5K on the treadmill or stationary bike

• Hosting a virtual paint and sip party

• Click here for more ideas!

Take photos and videos and share your activity on a favorite social media with the link to your walk fundraising page and tag @NAMIMaryland, #RocktheWalk2020 & #MentalHealthForAll. Together we can make May 30 a day to remember – Mental Health for All: A National Day of Hope.
