I began my career as an art teacher in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It was through my students at International School of Tegucigalpa that my love for teaching art grew. Their excitement for art and unique cultural perspective taught me to see the world differently.
The pictures demonstrate the student's talent and hard work. The art show was the first of it's kind. The exhibition entitled, Elements of Design, was held at Chiminike, the local children's museum. There was something whimsical about the playful qualities of the artwork in a setting made specifically with the child in mind.
Each piece, all four hundred and twenty of them, were double matted by hand. The labor intensive process of matting each piece could not have been done without the help of many wonderful volunteers. It was my desire to see that each child had one piece of artwork matted and hung in a venue outside of the school.
