My “why” in teaching art is to offer art making opportunities to areas and communities that don’t have easy access to art education. I feel privileged to be living my “why” as I partner with The Healing Well: a non profit organization that provides wellness services to marginalized communities in San Francisco. I teach painting, drawing, collage, and weaving to adults in the general population of The Tenderloin district, as well as one class to an all women’s group from the tight knit Arabic community.
