Art Experiences






I started my art journey at NationHouse, then continued with various classes at art institutions in Washington, DC. At Bell Multicultural High School, now Columbia Heights Education Campus, I studied visual arts. As a college student, I received the Arts and Education grant and taught the Kuumba Arts and Crafts Program from 1995 - 1998. Later, I worked as an independent arts instructor.


I led various visual art workshops, such as Kuumba Arts and Crafts Program(1995-1998) and Kuumba Expressions Visual Art Workshops (2015 - 2016), as well as programs at Higher Achievement’s Summer Camp (2003 - 2004;2013) and Young Playwrights' Theater (2012 - 2013). I taught students how to develop their fine motor skills by creating mask cutouts. My approach emphasized offering children choices and encouraging them to make decisions about their work. With over 18 years of experience, I have successfully implemented art lesson plans for students with diverse backgrounds. I always started my lessons with an introduction, demonstration, and ethical guidelines.

Various forms of media, including documentaries, performance art, and literature, emerged as powerful tools for addressing urgent social issues, fostering a deeper engagement with the public and prompting critical discussions on contemporary matters.” I was a student during the 1990s up until the late 1990s.
