The Marc

Marc has lived in New York City for 68 years. He worked as a photographer for 12 years, doing work for companies such as JCPenney and Sears, photographing for the home and clothing departments. He has always had an inkling for all kinds of art: woodworking, sculpture, watercolor painting, and more.

 "Anything to do with art, I pick up on."

His sister found out about JASA and encouraged him to go. Marc has now been attending JASA classes for three years. "There's a bunch of exercise programs, and I go every day." Marc loves attending the art classes as well - it's an outlet for him. Since retiring, Marc found that he had so much time on his hands and painting is a great way for him to spend it.

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