<p>The relaxing sound of the ocean greets you as you take in the soft glow of twinkling lights around you and the smooth billows of white satin overhead. Sinking into the cozy hug of an oversized bean-bag chair, your mind begins to calm, absorbing the soothing ambiance and letting go of the day’s distractions. You’ve found peace at last — that is, until the school bell rings and reminds you that you’re not at the spa.

<p>Of all the animals that Theresa Cordier has painted to brighten up the walls of the <a href="/early-learning-center" target="_blank">Early Learning Center</a> (ELC) on the campus of UAH, her favorite is the octopus. "I thought he was going to be easy, but he lied to me – he took me a week to paint!" laughs the Madison, Ala., native. "When you look really closely, octopuses are not one color. And the more I got into it, he went from orange to pink. It was just challenging, and so the way he turned out made me happy."</p>
