Judith LaRosa

Visual Arts Instructor

Judith LaRosa is a San Francisco native with a varied art background that includes extensive printmaking and textile design, as well as drawing, painting, and ceramics. She has an avid interest in working with mixed media. Judith began teaching at the San Francisco Children’s Art Center in 1987 and taught there for 20 years. She began volunteering at Creativity Explored in 1998 and joined the teaching staff in 1999.

Working with children and people with disabilities is a reciprocal creative process that is enriching beyond words. It is a constant learning experience that keeps me in touch with what I value most
