This guitar was hand-painted by our own Hope Creates board member, Mark Witzling, in support of the mission of Hope Creates. 

Included:
Two (2) guitar lessons from Shuqing Ma at a mutually agreed upon time and location.

Shuqing Ma, born in the Liaoning province of China, is a musician and instructor. She moved to various places throughout the United States, eventually landing in St. Louis where she received her Bachelor’s of Arts in music at Webster University in 2020. During her time as a student, she tutored children and English language learners for the Student Literacy Corps. Currently, she is a freelance audio/visual technician and a teaching artist at St. Louis Classical Guitar, hoping to share her passion for music throughout the community.

Due to the exposure of living in a variety of places, she is quite adaptable and flexible. These frequent changes parallel her multiple hobbies - such as audio engineering, motorcycling, parkour, puzzles, wood working, metal working, soldering, and video games. She would often travel to visit her family - which includes the mischievous yet lovable cat, Sheila.
