The Nonna

 Nonna was born in Moscow, Russia, and worked as a Civil Engineer there. In 1991, she moved to Brooklyn, and has lived there ever since. After she retired, a friend told her that she was going to visit JASA’s Luna Park Older Adult Center, and invited Nonna to join. They went and both continue to attend classes to this day! Nonna’s favorite activities are belly dancing, exercise, pilates, and aerobics.

“This is my first time participating in an art show. I started taking art classes one year ago at JASA. I’ve loved art all of my life. It’s like a return for me.”

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