Art + Crafting + Teaching
New York City
- I started making my own clothes when I was eight..and I still love machine and hand sewing!
- I am often inspired by my love of nature and love to grow things, and I usse that in interest my artwork and studies...like when I took an amazing Botanical Illustration class I took at the NYBG.
- Animals make great art subjects for children and adults alike! I have two pet chickens who love blueberries and grapes!
I teach at a private N-12 school, as well as private art classes and at local arts and craft studios. I have studied Studio Art in the US and in Italy, and have my Master's in Social Work from Columbia University. I work with children of all ages, teens, adults, families, groups and individuals. Come have fun creating something!
