Apple Village Arts, Inc.
When my daughter was ten years old, I decided to start teaching after school Studio Art classes to children, mostly because I wanted to be with her after her school day. This successful venture, named Apple Village Arts, became a non-profit organization in 2013, and grew into an after school option for many in the East Village. To showcase the children's work, I organized biannual art exhibitions at a local cafe, one in the fall, "Hello, Hallowe'en", and one in the spring, "Welcome, Spring!". The children's creativity enhances my own approach to my work.
EAST VILLAGE GIRL
The East Village Girl is the signature art project of Apple Village Arts, Inc.

East Village + Big Apple + Art
The tree in the AVA Logo represents a giant and precious ELM TREE from Tompkins Square Park, one among those that survived Dutch Elm Disease in the 1930s.
