The Patricia II

JASA senior Patricia attends the JASA Coney Island Active Aging NORC. Since Patricia was a teenager, she has been interested in fashion. She liked to sew her own clothes, which she did just for herself. Art runs in the - her sister is an art teacher, and her mother also creates art pieces.

"My main source of inspiration is my family. I like to see them happy with what I do."

Patricia joined JASA in 2012, after hearing about the art classes through the community.

"It's nice to communicate with other people your age. I like jewelry making the best."

This necklace is handmade with love and care by JASA seniors. Treat yourself today and support older New Yorkers!
