MEET THE TEACHING ARTISTS

Tahmineh (Tammy) Zanders
New York City based collagist, Tahmineh (Tammy) Zanders, has been honing her mixed media experimental and artistic abilities since she graduated high school in 2015. She was frightened at the thought of sharing her artwork with the world without the guidance and the push from her high school art teacher/mentor. As she continues to become a better person through personal development and spiritual awareness, she becomes a better artist each and every day as well; and continues to push herself way out of her comfort zone within her artistic abilities. Tammy’s work is inspired by her experiences as a Black American woman within social justice matters and as a Black American woman with an invisible disability. Through acrylic paint, ripped up magazines and a use of various daring colors, Tammy focuses on expressing herself as much as possible in all areas of her life. She is currently working on establishing her website and the products she is offering via ©Tammy’s Tech, an e-commerce store where electronic devices display her designs (such as iPhone/Android cases, Airpod cases, etc). Tammy plans to soft launch the project soon and pursue the business full time after graduating with her accounting degree. ​

Rev. Isaac I. Scott
 Since my release from prison, I’ve taken an interdisciplinary approach to using advocacy combined with painting, collage, digital arts and the performing arts to highlight the inequities of the incarceration experience and the need for healing, redemption, and restoration within America’s legal system. My artwork is narrative-based and each project tells its own unique story. My process for artmaking and curating storytelling projects includes utilizing a mixed media methodology to criminal justice advocacy by organizing public art projects, online art exhibitions, poetry performances, and storytelling projects to interrogate and bring about awareness around the intersecting pathways to incarceration. I want my art to function in the world as
not only individualized testimony, but also as an interconnected experience.
