Bringing Art into The Community
While pre-teaching in Philadelphia, I was privileged to volunteer with the Urban Garden Organization.
We converted litter filled vacant lots into beautiful and useful community gardens.
While student teaching at Grandview
Elementary,I created this backdrop for the school musical.
Volunteer Work
As part of CALM (Children and Artists Linked Through murals), I was able to help create this mural in the
Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital cafeteria.
Volunteer Work
With the help of a few of my talented learning support students, we created this festive banner for a local
business in Tidioute, PA.Volunteer Work
As part of the IUP NAEA, we created a children’s alley
during an arts festival.
At no expense, children could
create fun, multi-cultural art projects!
Volunteer Work
During another IUP NAEA project, we held an all-day contest open to the community:
During “Chalk the Walk”, anyone
could use chalk to express opinions on a political or
social issue. Volunteer Work
