Interview Featured in Matheny Volunteer Spotlight for National Volunteer Week

I am so immensely grateful to share my featured interview in the Volunteer Spotlight for Matheny, where I am involved as a volunteer in the Arts Access Program, in celebration of National Volunteer Week! I responded to a series of questions by discussing my initial connection to the facility through a chance meeting with participant Isabell Villacis, my recent endeavors assisting with the installation of artwork by clients/residents with physical and developmental disabilities, and the convergence of my studio practice as a mixed media artist with my background in and continued support of the special needs community.

I would like to express my profound thanks to the team at Arts Access for organizing this wonderful interview, and in particular Julia Bono, Outreach and Events Manager, for facilitating this awesome opportunity for me to provide my reflections on and insight into my amazing experiences thus far at Matheny!
