Instructor: Shawn Allen-Dela Rosa is a Teaching Artist and believes all people have an inherent desire to make something they care about, and that the motivation to do so can often be found in a supportive group setting. For over twenty-five years, she has created environments for learning that support a fundamental action of art, creating personal connections inspired by the people and places that surround us. Shawn has worked extensively in Art and Healthcare and taught classes for Michener Museum, The Delaware Valley Arts Institute, Grounds for Sculpture and Chandler Hall Health Services. Her work has been shown in several juried exhibitions, among them Phillips Mill Gallery in New Hope and the Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia.
