I am a rising sophomore at LaGuardia High School, where my studio concentration is Visual Art. My favorite subject in school is Science, because I love learning about the natural world around us. In addition to school, I participate in public forum debate, and compete in tournaments around the city. I enjoy soccer, horse back riding and have played volleyball.
I have grown up in Battery Park City, taking full advantage of all the parks and great outdoor space. The neighborhood continues to hold my interest through great opportunities to sketch and photograph natural settings. Recently, new iconic structures and buildings in downtown continue to inspire me to see architecture and design in my daily life.
I have been baby siting for several years and enjoy working and playing with young children. I am excited to bring my passion for art to our summers Jr. Artists!
See you in the summer!

I am a rising sophomore at Beacon High School. My favorite subjects are English and Global Studies because I am fascinated with how history has shaped the world we live in today. I love volleyball and I play on a competitive travel team for Asphalt Green.
I also love drawing and creating mixed media art, which gives me the opportunity to produce and highlight the beauty in human nature and the aesthetics of NYC culture. I have been baby sitting for years and love working with young kids who have a curiosity and interest in art.
