Dorothy Ticking is an urban hero.  She is raising 7 grandchildren.  Tres has been mentoring the children for over 4 years, empowering them with art.  The children paint innocent figures using the materials and techniques from Tres' own art.  The children are growing as artists and the family is learning to support itself with art.  The Tickings often accompany Tres to festivals.
