Art Education/Therapy
Much of my art experience involves working with disadvantaged communities. I have taught classes, helped to organize exhibitions for disadvantaged youth in Chicago, IL and Austin, TX, as well as organizing and participating in several murals in those two cities.
As an art therapist, I have worked in hospitals and community centers with people of all ages and backgrounds. I use art to bring a humanistic approach to guiding others through their recovery.
