It is encouraging for me to see the progress that my students make. Also, I see such individual expression in my classes, and often times the work results have a lot of integrity. I am by nature a people person.

My first teaching assignment was in Venezuela where I went to teach the people of Borbures on the outskirs of the Amazon rain forest.





I attended the National Schools of Art in Venezuela and was awarded a scholarship to the National School of Art "La Esmeralda" in Mexico City.  I also studied at New York City’s Art Student’s League, as well as in Rome. In 1986, I was selected to be the Venezuelan representative for the Venice Biennale.  My work has been included in many exhibition catalogs such as the X International Print and Drawing Exhibition of China as well as in books on the subject of Venezuelan art.

 Since my arrival in the USA in 2003, I have been commissioned by the Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia on several major projects. In 2017, I was a recipient for the Franz and Virginia Bader Fund and also received The Libby Newman Artist Residency at The Brandywine Print Workshop in Philadelphia. In 2012, I was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. That same year, I was asked to do an installation at The Philadelphia International Airport Art program in.  Later on, I became a recipient of a Peter Benoliel Fellowship from CFEVA in Philadelphia, PA and was awarded The Franz and Virginia Bader Fund grant in 2018.

I currently teaches art at the Career Academy Developmental Institute (CADI) and at Fleisher Art Memorial.  Together with my partner, I co-direct HouseGallery1816 in Fishtown and maintains an active studio and exhibition schedule.

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

1) I'll have an introductory conversation about the scope of this art class, it will be individualized for each student to fit their needs.

2) The student will  be asked to do a drawing ( still life ) to evaluate his/her ability and knowledge in drawing, or a  portfolio can be brought to the class and we can discuss what the student is wanting to accomplish. This will give us a sense of where to start with these lessons.

3) classes are kept small so that my students can have individual attention to further specific projects. 



I have worked with very young children, with Senior citizens, and with every age in between.  These current classes are for teenagers up to what ever age you care to be.  Please bear in mind that we have about 5 steps up into the building, and the basement is roughly 10 steps down.  There are handrailings.

For those of you who are allergic, we do have cats here.



I would urge them to research the career of the teacher by first looking at their resume and taking note of how current it is.  If there big gaps in time where no exhibitions have taken place, I would be sure to ask the artist why this has occurred.

Also, take a look at the artists website, are they doing work that you admire?  Then check for art reviews in publications.
