Founder / Curator / Teacher
- The People’s Church Bible Art Summit, Long Beach, NY – 2005 to 2017. We offered free art lessons each year to children and adults. Artwork was taken from stories in the old and new testaments of the Bible. We ended with a juried contest and exhibition open to artists of all faiths in and around our community. The mediums taught and exhibited were: acrylic, chiaroscuro, watercolor, pastel, faux stain glass, paper tole, and paper mosaic.
