Art Teacher Chic

Juana Alicia Montoya, a dancer, muralist, and a teacher at Berkeley City College, has amazing style. As her student, I get to experience it at least twice a week in my painting class. I feel honored to be given the chance to learn from this astounding woman, who prior to becoming a teacher was active in Cesar Chavez's united farmworker's movement in the late sixties and seventies, and has been painting large-scale murals for most of her adult life. She rocks.
