The Lubov II

Lubov attends JASA's Coney Island Active Aging NORC. Lubov has resided in New York City for the last 26 years and has spent the last five years making art at JASA. However, she has been creating art since she was a teenager. When she first joined CIAA, she visited the center for something else but ended up sitting and observing the art class.

"Because of my children, my job, and problems with immigration, I forgot about art. Once I started coming here, I discovered art again."

Through the art classes she takes, she's grown closer to the other women in attendance.

"It's neat to meet new people and have conversations. We like to come to class because we might see our friends."

Lubov gathers inspiration from her sons and a little garden where she grows her flowers and vegetables. Lubov is a busy grandmother who adores her 10-month-old grandson.
