Let’s support good in the world and make a difference. Help us foster the creative and intellectual development of New York City youth for Studio In A School Association!

As an Interior Designer with a BA in Studio Art and an MFA in Interior Design, it's pretty safe to say that I recognize the value of Studio Arts education. However, the most profound impacts of my Arts education don't lie in my professional achievements. It's in the childhood memories - figuring out your favorite colors to express yourself, the feeling of satisfaction you get the first time you trace your handprint to make a Thanksgiving turkey, the pride you feel bringing home the first thing you ever sculpted out of clay, and so much more. Art class helps foster friendships - I met one of my best friends to this day while crafting a giant pumpkin in 8th Grade art class.

Budget cuts to the Studio Arts departments don't just take away silly painting time, they take away the opportunity for students to grow, to learn about themselves through creative expression, and to foster friendships in an environment that feels more free than the typical classroom. Students need art, especially when times are tough. This is why I am so proud to be running the NYC Marathon in support of Studio in a School - to help ensure that all students in the Five Boroughs have access to the visual arts education that has so deeply enriched my own life.
