SARA’S STUDIO SPACEMY CREATIVITY HAS SERVED ME WELL AS AN ARTIST AND SERVING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AS A CASE MANAGER. I HAVE ASSISTED MANY PEOPLE REACH SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN THE COMMUNITY WHILE PURSUING ARTISTIC GOALS OF MY OWN. THE FOLLOWING SLIDES SHOW MY GRAPHIC ART WORK.

VISIONS OF PEACE

• Currently Visions of Peace is on display at Florida Hospital Altamonte in the Art of Healing Gallery. The proceeds from the sale go to helping the hospital serve people in need.

LOVE GROWS IN ORLANDO

• I was moved to create Love Grows in Orlando after the tragedy at Pulse and was selected to be in the Art Show at Florida Hospital Altamonte in the Art of Healing Gallery. After this horrific act our community showed so much Love to the victims and their families.

SOCIAL MEDIA

• My most recent job was at Highlands Elementary School serving the educational needs of children with autism. This position was both challenging and rewarding. To my surprise, I received a valuable education from the students on compassion and unconditional love. I created an art piece called Social Media to demonstrate a disconnect from the human experience.

INDUCTION

• As many know opiate dependency has become an epidemic and I was compelled to help. I worked as a counselor for the Methadone Clinic and was privileged to witness individuals and families get their lives back. This disease does not discriminate. I created an art piece Induction

STEREOTYPES

• After the death of Trayvon Martin I was moved to create a piece called Stereotypes and was given honorable mention in the Seminole County Art Show. I was puzzled when I researched the prison population had a disproportioned amount of black incarceration.

LILLY OF THE VALLEY

• I discovered my ancestral line linked to the Mohawk Nation and growing up Catholic was pleased when the first native American was sainted by the church Kateri or Lilly of the Valley. I created this piece representing Kateri on the back of a turtle representing the Native American story of creation.

MIGRANT MOTHER

• I was working for Seminole County Financial assistance when the economy took a downward spiral. Lines around the building of people in need. I created a piece after Dorothea Lange Migrant Mother a photograph taken during the depression. The computer graphic representation demonstrates how far our technology has grown but socially women remain impoverished. I won second place in the show.

ORLANDO REMAINS BEAUTIFUL

• I worked for many years assisting the homeless with permeant housing and came across a bill created by former Governor Lawton Chiles for Miami Dade County a 1 penny sales tax on high end entertainment establishments dedicated to serve the homeless and other social service. I think this would be good for Central Florida. I created this piece Swan feeding permitted Homeless feeding prohibited. This seems strange but it is true.
