Kristine
Kristine leverages her 20 years as a high tech systems analyst to create change in the educational and community nonprofit sectors through social activism, community development, art, and education.
Her work has centered on the development of a multi dimensional, multi ethnic, world centered curriculum for grades 3-11. This has included experiential learning in the arts, humanities and sciences.
Most recently, Kristine has focused her efforts on promoting farm worker rights and fair pay/sick leave for all of California’s workers. She is excited to promote and provide art in the Sacramento Area.
Tony
Tony sketched countless drawings as a child (but never on the walls!) but reading became his passion. However, he is prone to picking up a pencil and drawing at random times (often in boring meetings during his day job!). Tony has always enjoyed volunteering with children and is equally at ease coming up with random songs and rhymes or improv-like scenes for kids to act out plays.
Tony works with CVS Health as a Senior Manager and teaches with the UC Davis, UCLA,and UC Berkeley Extensions.
