Why I taught the arts?

When I was a little girl, I wanted to pursue a career in the arts. I choose the arts as a vehicle and outlet for me to express myself through using the arts. If it was not for the love of the arts and I had the opportunity to teach visual arts, literary arts, and dance throughout my community in the past. It gave me the opportunity to express myself as it is related to bullying and culture, especially to minority race. I taught various art forms such as collage design, abstract painting, drawing, poetry, and dance to children, youth and dance. SELECTED PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES ARTS SPECIALIST.

Additionally, I can recall when I served as a substitute teacher for DC International School.

My College Experiences

My college experiences were diverse. I had the opportunity to exhibit my artwork in New York City in 1993 at The New Harlem Gallery (New York City, New York) and Wisteria ArtSpace (New York City, New York). I was 16 years old at that time. Additionally, I participated in the Congressional Art Competition in 1993. I was exposed to a diverse set of people with different backgrounds and sexual orientations from 1993 - 1997. I had the opportunity to met Ms. Lois Jones when I was a college student and exhibit my artwork in several exhibitions from 1996 - 1997. Among them include: "Evolution of Historical Symbolisms." Corcoran Gallery of the Art, Hemicycle, Washington, DC. 1997; and "All Senior Summer Show." Corcoran School of the Art, White Walls Gallery, Washington, DC. 1997-1996. Each of these experiences allowed me to produce a different set of artwork and develop a wide range of skills.
