“There may have been a time when preservation was about saving buildings …but those days are gone. Preservation is in the business of saving communities …” Richard Moe
I am passionate about community. I believe artists are community activists. I have spent most of my life improving the lives of children and families. My experience working in youth and family programs has taught me the value of investing in the lives of others.
I am passionate about helping families. I have worked as an Arts and Literacy ambassador for the Bass Museum, Miami Beach in their Community Outreach program. I also taught Arts and Literacy classes for the Bass Museum at the Miami Book Fair. To reach the community during Art Basel Miami Beach, I volunteered as a docent for the Bass Museum.
During Open House New York, I partnered with The Lilac Preservation Project and presented Open House New York for Kids. I hosted a book signing of my Art Deco coloring book inspired by New Yorker and preservationist Barbara Capitman. Kids enjoyed my “Little Red Lighthouse” storytelling and art activities.
I’m always looking for ways to serve the community. I was happy to present a free Arts and Literary workshop for 100 kids and families at the Fleming Island Library.
I’ve worked for many non profits like the American Diabetes Association to enhance their special events.
