The Sevenfold Guild wants to give a big thanks to our 2022 volunteer teaching assistant, Teresa Ricci. When working with our students and drawing instructor she was able to effectively coordinate the student work with the instructor's demonstration drawings. She recalls her time at the Guild as a tuition-free opportunity where she was able to build upon the drawing and painting education that she had received from SUNY New Paltz. After graduating from SUNY, Teresa moved back to the Albany area. Best wishes, Teresa!

The Sevenfold Guild wants to wholeheartedly thank our 2023 intern and scholarship recipient, Nidhi Konathala, for joining our figure drawing workshops. Nidhi's enthusiasm for drawing was inspiring to our middle school, our high school students, and our staff. Nidhi's work in computer science took her to Seattle, where she is now exploring life on the West Coast. Best wishes, Nidhi!
