The work I am currently focused on in this area is connected to community engagement and building relationships with individuals and organizations that seek to better the lives of young people. The work uses art as a vehicle to create projects  bringing awareness to children in need. The projects are collaborations with the message of kids helping kids through art as a vehicle to promote care and compassion. Other projects are material based using recycled items to make connections art historically and  to current environmental concerns.

A Walk with Chalk is a Developing Artist Project made possible through a grant from the Greenwich Alliance for Education. With social distancing in mind, the final image will be hundreds of intersecting lines that connect as a community. We will also create a visual mapping of all lines and locations as work of Art. www.thedevelopingartist.com
