Hi! I’m Lilit (Lee-leet), the founder of KCLA. I’m 17 years old, a senior at Lake Balboa College Prep, and the biggest bookworm you’ll ever meet. In February of 2024, I began my school’s first Writing Workshop, where I gathered aspiring writers weekly and led them through lectures, seminars, and advice on creative writing. Eventually I decided to bring that idea into the real world, and that’s how this workshop was born! I truly enjoy creative writing and engaging with my peers, so please, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!

I'm Johan, an aspiring animator and artist drawing since Pre-K. Outside of volunteering, I enjoy spending time with family, helping others out, making food, exercising, and well, drawing; even making the logo of this group! I hope to be of assistance, and I hope you can find the love in art as much as I do!
Livia Muhlgay - Art Educator
Hi, I’m Livia! I’m a senior in high school and spend all of my free time drawing, writing, or playing music. I love all things gothic and spooky and am aiming to venture into tattooing in the near future. If I had one goal, it would be to encourage kids to explore the horizons of their creativity, as I feel it helps gain a better understanding of themselves.
