• January 2024 In teaching Acrylic Painting classes both online and in person, I have used step-by-step instruction, beginning with light whisper-touch drawing, to create a variety of images. We use a variety of principles like form, shape, values, perspective, size, and depth to create images. 3. Teaching Artist, Philadelphia FIGHT September 2016
• December 2018 By volunteering with clients at Philadelphia FIGHT, I was able to teach acrylic painting classes to people and families who are homeless and have HIV/AIDS.
