For a period of one Year. <br />My two passions in life are Children and Art. <br />My background as a varied artist includes: Painting, Photography, Crafts, recycled art <br />and Poetry. <br />I have participated as a volunteer in various events in Santa Ana and through out <br />Orange County: <br />Day of the Dead Events, Patchwork Show, Cinco de Mayo Festival <br />Earth Day Celebration, Indigenous People Festival <br />Summer Art Program at Project Access where I live at Warwick Square Apartments <br />I am currently working at Orange County Children's Therapeutic Art Center as an Art <br />Instructor <br />And OC Arts Studios as an Art Instructor in after school enrichment Art program for <br />children k -6. <br />I feel that this is what I am meant to do with my life is teach art to children of all ages. <br />I believe that we all have talents and skills, one not need to be a philanthropist to give <br />back to the <br />community. <br />Narrative for proposed use of funds:: <br />Narrative <br />Maria Reyna <br />I go and participate regularly In the Downtown Art Walks, I feel there needs to be more <br />free art <br />for the Santa Ana residents that attend this event. <br />I would like to have a booth with three tables that offers free arts and crafts for the <br />public. <br />This is a new project that I am proposing that will benefit and enrich the Artist Walk <br />
