Valerie Abbruzzesse* - Visual/ Promotional Artist
My name is Valerie Abbruzzesse, and I am a recent graduate of The Albany Academy for Girls and have artistically contributed to The Souls of our Feet. I am really glad I was given the opportunity to take part in such an amazing project, which I hope will succeed in spreading awareness and will receive positive feedback. While I had some rudimentary knowledge of disabilities prior to this project, I was able to learn much more throughout the experience. In terms of my artwork, I have been taking art classes throughout all of my high school years and have had several of my pieces displayed in juried art shows. Recently, I have received two awards: the Sybil Townsend Greenwood Kline Memorial art award as well as an award for being nominated for the High School Regional Art Exhibition. I am very thankful to have been recognized for my work with such high honor and I hope to continue with such success. Lastly, I would like to thank Sonya Rio-Glick, the director of The Souls of our Feet, for being courageous enough to put herself out there in order to help us learn about and connect to people with disabilities.
