Community Building
Creative Adventures Inc. goal is to be a profound force for art in our surrounding community. Through collective artistic expression, our community projects aim to infuse our ever expanding network with creative spirit and goodwill.
After the experience in Africa, November 2016, I put my wish out loud to “the Universe” I will love to bring more color to the World!!! and in the last months I created three more murals with the students and their communities.
Let me know if you will be interested to create a unique and wonderful project, to transform your community and bring more Color to it too!
Peninsula Jewish Community Center – Foster City, California
I was invited to work with the Nursery School students, staff and parents at the PJCC and create a mural of my own as well.
Beverly Farms Elementary School – Potomac, Maryland
Worked with the 560 students as an Artist in Residence at the school, creating an organic mural, where each student created her/his own leaf, representing their own design or symbol.
Temple Beth Ami – Rockville, Maryland
The graduate Class of 4 and 5 years old, invited me to help them to create a legacy gift for the school. The children painted the cloth used for the letters and vines and then draw their own flowers and bugs to add to the mural at the Nursery School foyer.
