Vinny Mraz, playwright, teaching artist, theater maker in NYC, and Lifetime Arts Trainer, takes a brush to canvas to paint portraits of some of his students while reflecting on his classes during quarantine.
Playwright, teaching artist, theater maker in NYC, and Lifetime Arts Trainer, Vinny Mraz, was offering the third series of his program, “Comedy Workshop,” to his students at the Wartburg in Mt. Vernon, NY, when the COVID-19 crisis forced the class to disband. During quarantine, Vinny has thought a lot about his students and the characteristics and talents that each of them bring to class. To share his continued appreciation, he decided to pick up his paintbrush and create these portraits of some of his students that he shared on his Instagram. “I think I’ll continue to paint their pictures and share them as a reminder to keep our most vulnerable in mind as we keep moving forward!” said Vinny.
