About
I cater to providing art in the Inner City for students k-12 to students and families that may not have the opportunity to experience art lessons in a group setting or privately. I also encourage parents to sign up there special needs children.... as I have experience and master's classes in special education.
I enjoy creating new and interesting art as well as teaching and encouraging students to be creative beyond their imagination through connected lesson plans at their grade level....looking at things in a different perspective... Encouraging them to think outside the box!!!
